Select Board Approves Participation in Extended Alcohol Service Pilot Program
The Select Board discussed and voted on whether to participate in the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission's (ABCC) temporary pilot program for extended alcohol service hours, coinciding with the World Cup. One establishment, Teamworks (Replays), expressed initial interest. The board considered potential impacts on public safety and the limited benefit for the town. After discussion about the pilot program's duration (through July 31st), the limited demand, and the ability for establishments to still serve until their regular closing time plus one hour, the board voted to authorize participation in the pilot program, allowing individual establishments to apply later.
