The first two applications for the sale of alcoholic beverages presented to the Chilton County Commission were approved on Monday.

But the businesses will still have to wait until the beginning of July to gain final approval from the state and begin selling alcoholic beverages.

The Commission on Monday approved applications from Five Star Food Mart, which is located at Interstate 65 Exit 200, and Lake Mitchell Marina.

No one was present to oppose granting the licenses to either business.
