STARKVILLE — Tourism officials in Starkville are supporting a proposed ordinance permitting Sunday alcohol sales in the city.

The Starkville Visitors and Convention Council agreed Wednesday to draft a letter in support of the ordinance. The letter will be sent to elected city officials.

The first of two public hearings on Sunday alcohol sales took place this week at city hall.

A second hearing is scheduled to take place during the Board of Aldermen's next meeting Aug. 18 at 5:30 p.m.

Businesses and restaurants cannot sell alcohol on Sunday, according to the city's existing alcohol ordinance.

Several city aldermen are against the hearings, saying they oppose Sunday alcohol sales because it is a moral, religious and safety issue.
