Eleven people have applied for retail liquor licenses in Little River County, according to the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Division.
Voters approved alcohol sales in the November General Election, the first time they had considered the issue in about 70 years. The vote made Little River County the 41st of Arkansas' 75 counties to go "wet."
The county, with a population of about 13,000, is eligible for two liquor stores. The lucky winners will be chosen by a drawing the last week of July.
