The Cullen Town Council approved two major measures during its latest meeting, meaning changes for local businesses.

Alderwoman Barbara Green, Mayor Pro Tem Floydean White, and Alderwoman Denise Epps-Hoof unanimously voted in favor of Ordinance 363, which allows for Sunday liquor sales within town limits. Businesses with proper licenses can now sell alcohol seven days a week.

Other important business included the voting in favor of the new 2025 tax millage rate from the previous 8.99 mil to the new 8.51 mil.

Alderwoman Epps-Hoof shared a special thank you to the town and everyone who participated in the town’s Juneteenth celebration. “We just wanted to take the time to thank everybody who did what they did. It was hot, but it was a blessing, I believe, to the community.”
