One supporter reportedly told WDRB that the measure was expected to boost breakfast and brunch sales for many businesses in the area.
However, not everyone is so enthusiastic about the change. Some council members worry that selling alcohol earlier in the day could lead to higher crime rates. Council members are especially concerned about how the change will affect crime in the city's west end, which is known to have a high crime rate already.
