A neighborhood in one local city, is banding together to keep an apparently unwanted business, out.

On Tuesday, the Wicomico County Board of License Commissioners is hosting their regular meeting, at which they are expected to hold a hearing on the matter.

The Task Force says they plan on attending, to alert the Board to their issue with Riverside Beer and Wine, and present a petition with a reported hundreds of signatures against the business. The Task Force explains that with the recent addition of the Camden Community Garden and reduced crime activity in the area, they don’t want another alcohol store present within their community.
