Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee Hearing
Councilmember Emmanuel V. Remy, Chair of the Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee, will host a public hearing to review the 2025 Liquor Objection requests by the Columbus City Attorney’s office.
Each year, Columbus is required to submit any objections to the renewal of liquor permits within the City by December 31. Throughout the calendar year, the City Attorney’s office works with community leaders, Columbus Police, Fire, Health, Building, and Code Enforcement, as well as various state entities, including the Ohio Investigative Unit, to identify and investigate liquor permitted locations that have violations of state and city code and chronic criminal activity (including violent crime, overdoses, and liquor violations). Proposed objections are then presented to Council, and if approved via resolution, are sent to the Ohio Division of Liquor Control. The objection does not result in any immediate change to business operations. The City Attorney’s office is committed to working with these businesses to enact appropriate security and safety improvements for their establishments and surrounding neighborhood.
Below is the current 2025 objections list. One objections remain from the 2024 liquor objections list. Until a final agreed solution can be reached with the businesses or until a decision is made before the Division, the City will renew the following objections from last year.
