EDGEWOOD

Edgewood city council approved the second reading of an ordinance setting the tax rates for the city for the new fiscal year. The new rate for real estate taxes is $.185 per $100 of assessed value, and the rate for personal property is $.173 per $100 of assessed value.

Another ordinance had the second reading which was an amendment to the Alcohol Beverage hours. When the new Kroger store was opened, the owners wanted to be able to compete with other liquor stores for Sunday sales. The new hours for package sales or drinks are changed to 8 a.m. on Sundays, and the rest of the week the hours will stay at 6 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.

Trick or treat hours in Edgewood will be Friday October 31 from 6-8 p.m.
