BALTIMORE - Baltimore is looking to take back dozens of licenses from liquor stores in poor neighborhoods.
City Health Department officials say from research done at Johns Hopkins University, there is a link between those stores and higher crime rates.
Now, they’re targeting 128 stores as part of a citywide rezoning effort, forcing them either to move or change what they’re selling.
It will be about a year before the city’s new zoning packages comes up for a vote.
