AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Southbridge to grant 7 additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises. The licenses will be restricted to full-service restaurants located in specific zoning districts within the town, with a preference for the Glove Village Flex Overlay District, the Central Core, and the American Optical Flex Overlay District. The additional licenses will be subject to a one-time application fee of $5,000 more than the annual fee for existing alcoholic beverage licenses, with the additional funds being deposited into a Redevelopment Authority seed funding account for economic development. The licenses issued under this act are non-transferable and if a license is cancelled, revoked, or no longer in use, it will be returned to the licensing authority, who can then grant it to a new applicant within the specified zoning districts.
