Locations & Events To Sign The Petition

Thanks to the dedication of the volunteers of the Moving Lansdowne Forward Committee, local businesses, and residents who are #ThirstyForChange, we received 1483 petition signatures between February 19, 2019 and March 11, 2019. The success of this campaign has led to the addition of a liquor law referendum question on the upcoming 2019 primary ballot. The question will allow residents to vote if they are in favor of a change to Lansdowne's liquor laws to allow up to 3 restaurant liquor licenses to be transferred into the borough.
