Davidson leaders listen to proposals for social districts

Tuesday's meeting only involved discussion on the matter -- an actual vote is set for next month.

DAVIDSON, N.C. — Another social district could be coming to the area.

The town of Davidson is the latest to consider implementing a social district, which would let people bring alcohol outside as long as a designated restaurant sold it.

Several other places in the Charlotte area, including Hickory and Cornelius, already have this type of area. 

Tuesday night, the board of commissioners listened to proposals to create two districts. One would be around Main Street, and the other was in an area called Circles, which is around the businesses on Jetton Street, by the roundabout.

While commissioners said they do like the plan, they said they would want to hear from more stakeholders like law enforcement to see how this would impact them.

Tuesday's meeting only involved discussion on the matter -- an actual vote is set for next month.
