PINEVILLE, La.- There are some discussions taking place in Pineville about ways to help the city improve their economic development plans. News Channel Five’s Nolan Crane shows us why allowing alcohol sales is a popular option.
Rod Noles is a real estate developer in Central Louisiana and he says selling land in Pineville can be challenging because of alcohol restrictions in the city.
“Twice now we’ve had a hotel, national hotel chain who wanted to locate in Pineville. When they came and made there site inspection they passed on the Pineville community because there was no place for their guest to have a glass of wine or a beer with dinner before they retire to their hotel,” says Rod Noles.
Alexandria has a lot of restaurants that Pineville doesn’t and residents we spoke with say the laws in Pineville should change to help open the door for more businesses to come.
“We never go to Pineville and that is the reason. When we go out to eat we want something to drink,” says Nikki Wright.
