Proposed liquor store in P.A. receives thumbs up from Chamber
The Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce is making a case for why Prince Albert should have a privately run liquor store.
“It will potentially create some jobs, there’s some potential infrastructure development and there will likely be taxes so it will improve the tax base in the city,” said CEO Larry Fladager.
The Chamber is responding to the Saskatchewan Party’s proposed shake-up of how alcohol is sold in the province. The plan would include twelve new private stores, including possibly one in Prince Albert.
The government feels Prince Albert is currently being under served in its liquor retail based on population and economic growth.
