YES YOU CAN
Sometime back in April the Arizona Department of Liquor (ADOL) began gathering information ahead of the Liquor License Lottery period.
After much research and data gathering the ADOL issued a press release which can be read here: 2022_Lottery_Press_Release.pdf (azliquor.gov) The bottom line is that the Liquor License Lottery this year presents literally dozens and dozens of opportunities.
Why is this an opportunity? Because liquor licenses are closely monitored and not given out easily. Thus, when Greenlee County is newly assigned 2 new series 6; 3 new series 7 and 4 new series 9 licenses this should be cause for all investors and developers engaged in the Hospitality Industry. The housing shortage in Greenlee County has been well documented for several years, and Greenlee County has inadequate supply of overnight accommodations.
MORE ROOMS MEANS MORE GUESTS
Having an ample inventory of hotel and motel rooms also translates into the seminars/training and major events that annually and even semi-annually seek out new places to host large events and meetings. So, 9 new liquor licenses should create banner headlines and big news. Hear that sound? That is Opportunity knocking.
We can attract new development, new businesses and thus new money. More investors means attention and attention attracts more investors – more housing, etc.
