Update: The license was denied on a 4-1 vote. Congratulations to all who participated in this effort.

The hearing of the Montgomery County Board of License Commissioners to again consider the renewal of the alcohol license for the Duvall Center 7-Eleven is today at 1:30 in Rockville. The Commissioners voted back in April to not renew the license, but there was a technical problem with the proceeding that required them to re-hear the case.

Details from the Gazette:

• Chris Robinson writes, Convenience store’s alcohol license hearing rescheduled

  The county Board of License Commissioners is scheduled next week to again consider renewing the liquor license of a Gaithersburg convenience store long criticized by neighbors for its early morning alcohol sales.

  The new hearing was arranged because an April 12 hearing, in which the board voted 3-2 to deny license renewal for Abraham Habtemariam, primary owner of the 7-Eleven at 211 N. Frederick Ave., was not advertised in a local newspaper.

  The new hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. June 7 in the first floor auditorium room of the County Office Building, 100 Maryland Ave. in Rockville.
