Flowood changes local alcohol hours to match state rule: restaurants and hotels may sell beer 10 a.m.–midnight

The Board held public hearings and adopted two ordinances amending local alcohol rules to conform with a Mississippi Department of Revenue change on hours for resort-area on‑premises permittees. The first ordinance amends the Amended and Restated Ordinance Relating to the Retail Sale of Beer to permit restaurants and hotels to sell beer between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight Monday through Sunday.

The Board also amended the Qualified Resort Area Ordinance to permit qualified resort-area hotels and restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight daily. Both amendments were adopted after the board confirmed hearing prerequisites and recorded no public opposition in the minutes.
