Bill > H360

This bill amends a previous law (Chapter 301 of the Acts of 2014) to modify alcohol licensing provisions specifically for the city of Holyoke, focusing on a designated area known as TOD West. The bill allocates one license for selling all types of alcoholic beverages to be consumed on-premises, and two additional licenses for selling wine and malt beverages to be consumed on-premises within a precisely defined geographic boundary. This boundary is meticulously described, starting at the intersection of Chestnut and Lyman streets and tracing a complex route through various streets including High, Hampden, John, Murray, Dwight, Heritage, Appleton, Nick Cosmos Way, Cabot, Commercial, Hampshire, and back to Chestnut street. The bill changes a previous reference from "sections 4 and 5" to "section 2" and will take effect immediately upon passage. The specific geographic restrictions and license allocations suggest this is a targeted local measure designed to regulate and potentially stimulate economic development in a specific neighborhood of Holyoke.
