Brewery Ordinance in Ellijay

Approved in their April Meeting, the Ellijay City Council is moving forward with a new ordinance concerning breweries.

The new ordinance actually allows both breweries, defined as a manufacturer of malt beverages, and brew pubs, defined as a restaurant who manufactures and sells malt beverages on site in draft form.

While the ordinance does add normal distances from schools and churches, it also states that,

“All places of business that front River Street or the Ellijay City Square or are on North Church Street, including but not beyond 29 North Church Street, or North Main Street including, but not beyond 28 North Main and are located within the central business district shall be exempt from the restrictions relating to distance from church structures, school structures and school grounds…”

You can also read the ordinance in entirety below:
