Voters in Proctorville also passed an option to allow alcohol sales at Kroger. That passed 146 to 89.

Other local alcohol options also passed. The Friends of Ironton effort to sell alcohol at the Ro-Na Theater passed 91 votes to 40, while the option for the American Legion Post in Ironton to sell alcohol passed 82 to 49 votes.

Chesapeake voters, however, didn’t pass an additional 1.5 mill levy for operating expenses. The measure failed 175 to 149 votes.
