Alcohol sales plan progresses for Woodman's Center

JANESVILLE �� The city of Janesville is moving forward with a plan to allow alcohol sales at the Woodman�셲 Sports & Convention Center, that is now under construction and slated to open in the fall.

Under a proposed agreement expected to go before the council in July, a private entity affiliated with the facility�셲 management company will handle all alcohol-related operations, not the city itself.
