On the next ATC permit hearing agenda: Mesa: A Collaborative Kitchen and Match Cigar Bar.

Local board hearings for Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission business (for the most part, new permits and renewals) are held on the first Tuesday of each month to 1:00 p.m. The hearings take place in the 3rd floor meeting room at the City-County Building.

The next Floyd County hearing is April 4, and so far there are two items of interest on the agenda. Both pertain to riverfront development area (three-way) permits.

Match Cigar Bar has been mentioned previously here. The space at 216 Pearl Street, longtime home to Petery-Hedden Co., has been under construction for a few weeks.

That's all I have on Mesa, and I'm just as curious as you.
