The next meeting of the Statesville ABC Board will be on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. The meeting will be held in the board room at our downtown store at 11 am.
The Statesville ABC Board was organized under the provisions of Senate Bill #1092, Chapter 509 of the North Carolina Legislature, General Assembly of 1973, and implemented by a City wide election held September 11, 1973. North Carolina General Statute 18B-805(e) requires that the entire net income, after deducting amounts required for law enforcement (5% minimum) and alcohol education (7%) minimum and retaining proper working capital, be paid to the following recipients (and percentages):
City of Statesville – 40%
Iredell Statesville Schools – 25%
Mitchell Community College – 25%
Iredell Museums – 10%
Liquor by the drink was approved by Statesville voters on May 6, 1986. The first drink served was on Friday June 27, 1986. The net income from liquor by the drink goes to the City of Statesville.

Local Organizations Benefit from Statesville ABC Funds
The Statesville ABC Board has announced the distribution of $92,000 to eight area agencies through its Education Grant Program to assist with the organizations’ substance abuse programs.
The agencies receiving a share of the education grant are: Aftershock Youth Empowerment, Angel Wings Foundation, Boys and Girls Club of the Piedmont, Children’s Homes of Iredell County, Fifth Street Shelter Ministries, Foundation of Hope Ministries, Pharos Parenting and Piedmont Mediation Center.
“The ABC Board strives to run an efficient operation so that each year we can help fund the important programs that work with and prevent substance abuse issues,” said Statesville ABC Board chairperson David Pope. “Keeping profits in our community to help others is just one of the benefits of a controlled state system.
The Children’s Homes of Iredell is a first time ABC Education grant recipient. According to Kevin Angell, Executive Director, “the grant will be used to enhance substance abuse education for foster youth in our community. The funds will support the development of engaging, evidence-based workshops that focus on prevention, awareness, and the impact of substance abuse on mental health and well-being.” The programs, tailored to meet the needs of adolescents in transitional living, will help “them with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed, healthy choices,” explained Angell.
Another new grant recipient is Angel Wings Foundation that use the funds to enrich their mentoring and tutoring programs with substance abuse education.
Other organizations using the funds to incorporate substance abuse awareness and education programs for youth throughout the year include Aftershock Youth Empowerment and Boys and Girls Club of the Piedmont. Numerous programs are offered by Piedmont Mediation that educate teens on the risks involved with substance abuse and, if needed, provide resources for substance abuse treatment and recovery. Foundation of Hope Ministries will use the funds to “navigate the lives of those struggling with alcohol and similar addictions”. These services include case management, transportation to recovery and detox facilities, application entry fees and “fees associated with sober living”.
Pharos Parenting uses the funds to “teach positive parenting skills, stabilize and strengthen families, especially for those with substance abuse issues,” said Tonya Fowler, Director. “We are grateful for the support and generosity of the ABC Board.”
The Statesville ABC Board distributes seven per cent of its remaining gross receipts annually for the treatment of alcoholism or substance abuse, or for research or education on alcohol or substance abuse, explained Tip Nicholson, General Manager of the Statesville ABC Board. “The ABC Board is very appreciative of the work these organizations do to help with and prevent substance abuse issues,” said Nicholson.
