• Godfrey Votes Down Liquor License For Proposed Business (riverbender.com) — Godfrey trustees have unanimously rejected a liquor license for a proposed business at 6007 Godfrey Road, citing a lack of available licenses and questions over the proper license class. The decision follows a survey confirming the site’s distance from a nearby Early Childhood Center and triggers an 18‑month waiting period before the applicant can try again.
