A referendum to allow the selling of wine in grocery stores in Algood will be on the ballot this November.
Putnam County Elections Employee Candi Wilkins said a citizen’s petition was turned in by the Thursday deadline with the necessary 130 signatures. Wilkins said the office has already verified all signatures by matching names and addresses with signatures.
Algood City Administrator Keith Morrison said if the vote passes, it will then go to the city for approval and to make any necessary changes to its codes to accommodate the referendum.
The city of Algood approved a liquor by the drink ordinance in 2020.
