What to do if you are concerned about a new liquor license
Businesses seeking liquor licenses are
required to post a large, orange poster, in landscape, when they are
seeking a liquor license. Neighbors within 500 feet have thirty (30) days
from the date of posting to protest the license by sending a letter to
the state liquor board saying they oppose the license, as the LCB
explains here.
Protesting a license starts a process that (as a practical matter) will
cause the applicant to contact the protestors to address their concerns
(usually, noise, crowding). CCRA can help you with your protest, if
you like. Call or email the office saying you have a liquor issue.
CCRA itself is UNABLE protest a license application under PA liquor
law. License applicants are NOT required to contact CCRA and usually
don't. Once the poster goes up, YOU have to take action. Again, CCRA
can help you but can't do anything with you.

The Silver Binder Presentation: Organize Your Personal Information for Safe Keeping
William Penn House, 1919 Chestnut, Community Room, 1st Fl, Tuesday, 10/15, 2 PM
Where
are your important documents such as insurance policies, the deed to
your home, bank and investment statements? Who will take care of your
pet if you have an emergency? Who will take care of you? Mario
Oropeza, a Penn's Village volunteer, developed this workshop to get you
started on what may seem like an intimidating task: organizing the
vital details about your legal, health, and financial affairs as well as
important contacts. A binder will be available at the workshop with
forms which will enable you to document everything your family and
friends need to know.
The
cost of the binder is $35 for Penn's Village members and volunteers; $45
for other guests (cash or checks only please) and includes a digital
version of the forms. Guests are welcome to attend three Penn's Village
programs at $10 per program before becoming a member and/or volunteer.
The guest cost for this program is included in the cost of the binder.
