New alcohol permits offer cheaper option in Bloomington

Downtown Bloomington businesses can apply for new three-way alcohol permits that cost $25,000 and allow restaurants to serve beer, wine and liquor. Applications are open through Nov. 30, according to a community announcement. The new permits are intended to give locally owned restaurants a less expensive option than traditional alcohol permits, which have reached $250,000 under Indiana's quota system, according to the announcement. Businesses can apply at bton.in/civic . Ordinance 2026-18, approved by the Bloomington City Council, made additional permits available through two eligible state programs: the Downtown Redevelopment District and Courthouse Square Historic District. Unlike traditional permits, the new district permits cannot be sold or transferred. A permit must be returned to the state when it is no longer being used. The $25,000 fee is set by the state. How Bloomington's alcohol permit process will work The application period runs from Nov. 6 through Nov. 30. City staff will first review applications for eligibility before a committee reviews them. Staff will then make recommendations to the Common Council, which will review applications and recommend permits to the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission. Applicants who receive a Common Council recommendation must complete a second application process directly with the state

The Griffy Lake Nature Preserve will be closed to all public access and recreational use for the next two weekends because of deer hunts . The preserve will close: At 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16. At 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 23. “The closure includes all trails, shoreline areas and the entire lake,” the city of Bloomington’s parks department said in a news release. “Hiking, fishing, boating and all other recreational activities are prohibited during the closures. No watercraft may be launched onto Griffy Lake during either hunting weekend.” The 1,220-acre nature park north of Bloomington offers scenic woodlands and a 109-acre lake that formerly served as Bloomington's primary drinking water source. The parks department has managed the preserve since 1971. The city has conducted hunts in the preserve since 2017 to reduce deer browsing of native vegetation. The city said “excessive” browsing can reduce the number of trees and “reduce the abundance and diversity of native plants. Managing deer populations helps these native plant communities recover and supports the long-term regeneration of the forest.” Julie Ramey, community relations manager for the parks department,
