COURT HOUSE – At Middle Township Committee’s Dec. 2 meeting, Mayor Timothy Donohue announced that the bid process for a plenary consumption liquor license resulted in a bid of just over $800,000. Donohue said that a background check was underway, and that the municipality should be able to announce the winner of the bid process at the Dec. 16 meeting.
The plenary license became available when the municipality’s population exceeded 18,000 in the 2010 census. An earlier attempt to sell the license through a bid process, which ended in August, resulted in no bids received. The municipality then lowered the minimum bid requirement from $750,000 to $600,000, and restarted the process, only to see a bid come over the previous minimum.
The number of retail consumption and distribution licenses available in a municipality is dictated by the size of the population. The municipality currently has five active plenary retail consumption licenses.
