Updated: 7:12 PM CST Feb 4, 2025
NEWSWATCH SEVEN AT FOUR. TONIGHT, THE LA VISTA CITY COUNCIL WILL DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO MAKE THE LA VISTA CITY CENTER AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M QUANECIA FRASER. I’M ROB MCCARTNEY. IF APPROVED, THIS WILL ALLOW THE ASTRO AND THE ASTRO AMPHITHEATER TO SIMPLIFY LIQUOR LICENSING FOR OUTDOOR SHOWS. KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN’S. PETE CUDDIHY IS HERE WITH THE LATEST ON IMPACTS OF A CHANGE. PETE. THAT’S RIGHT. LA VISTA MAYOR DOUG KINDIG TOLD ME THAT UP UNTIL NOW, VENDORS HAVE HAD TO APPLY FOR TEMPORARY LIQUOR LICENSES. THIS WAS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE ASTRO HAS LIMITED SPECIAL DESIGNATED LICENSES. TURNING THE LA VISTA CITY CENTER INTO AN ENTERTAINMENT CENTER WOULD MAKE SELLING ALCOHOL EASIER. THE ASTRO CURRENTLY HAS A LIQUOR LICENSE, BUT HAS TO USE A DIFFERENT SPECIAL DESIGNATED LICENSE FOR EACH EVENT UNDER A LIQUOR LICENSE, YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO USE 12 SPECIAL DESIGNATED LICENSES PER YEAR. BECOMING AN ENTERTAINMENT CENTER WOULD AMEND THE LICENSE AND ALLOW THE ASTRO TO NOT USE SPECIAL DESIGNATED LICENSES. UNDER A LIQUOR LICENSE, YOU’RE ONLY ALLOWED SO MANY STLS A YEAR. SO THEY WERE RUNNING INTO THESE PROBLEMS OF THEY DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH SALES FOR THE YEAR. SO WE’RE CREATING THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT TO CLARIFY ALL OF THAT. LA VISTA CITY COUNCIL WILL VOTE ON WHETHER TO MAKE IT AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. TONIGHT. MAYOR KINDIG TOLD ME THAT IF THIS PASSES, THE POTENTIAL NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO EXPAND THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT T
