The board voted Tuesday to amend an ordinance to allow the sale of beer on Sundays from noon until 10 p.m., in restaurants, grocery stores and convenience stores. The new ordinance will take effect in 30 days.
The Neshoba Democrat reports that supporters had said the change would help local businesses compete with the Pearl River Resort, where alcohol is available on Sundays, and with nearby cities such as Meridian, Newton and DeKalb where Sunday sales are allowed.
The current ordinance allows sales from Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. until midnight.
