BRIGHTON, Al.
Brighton's city council has approved a business license for a new electronic bingo hall at a location that was raided by authorities last year.
Ken Boyd, who spoke for American Legion Post 347 in Fairfield, said Tuesday the goal is to open the 300-machine charity bingo hall on Feb. 21 at the site of the former Anchor Club.
In April, authorities seized 500 gambling machines from the Anchor Club on grounds they were illegal.
Boyd told the council the building has been renovated and the business will meet legal operation standards. He says the post has met with Jefferson County sheriff's authorities.
Chief Deputy Randy Christian says his office has not met with the applicant but they advised them to comply with the law.
