For regular readers of the DC Register, they'll see that the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC Board) today published final rulemaking for the H Street Moratorium on the sale of singles and small containers of liqour. Today's publication is the official action necessary by the ABC Board to set an effective date for the moratorium -- October 1, 2007. Back on July 10th, Council gave its final approval to establishing the moratorium. In addition to publishing the final rules, the ABC Board has mailed letters to the affected businesses notifying them of the official action and giving them more than 30 days notice before the measure will take effect on October 1st. The three-year moratorium applies to the sale of single containers of beer, malt liqour, ale, as well as spirits (liqour) sold in half-pints or smaller by class A and B retailers. The area affected is the 700 block to the 1400 block of H Street, NE. Click Here for the full press release from Tommy. Readers have left 4 comments. (1) Untitled 2007-08-24 12:02:54 Outstanding!

What is the status for putting the same moratorium into effect for blocks 200-600 of H St.? Any thoughts on how the H Street singles moratorium for blocks 700-1400 will effect the neighborhood near the 200-600 blocks of H, where a liquor store still sells singles?

And speaking of ANC's, I want to make sure everyone knows that ANC 6A deserves a lot of credit for seeing this through. They did the heavy lifting for the last several years to get us to this point.
