Bill > H5075

This bill authorizes the Town of Westford to issue one additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages, meaning beer, wine, and spirits, that are intended to be consumed off the premises, such as at a convenience store or liquor store. This is an exception to the general rules governing alcoholic beverage licenses found in Chapter 138 of the General Laws, specifically overriding section 17 which typically limits the number of licenses. The license is specifically for Main Street Convenience, owned by MNS Westford LLC and Keshav Realty LLC, to operate at 103 Main Street. The bill also outlines conditions for this license, stating it cannot be transferred to a different location, but a new applicant can receive it at the same location if they demonstrate good standing with the departments of revenue and unemployment assistance regarding tax payments. If the license is no longer used, it will be returned to the town's licensing authority, which can then grant it to a new applicant at the same spot. Furthermore, upon receiving this new all-alcoholic beverage license, the current license for selling only wine and malt beverages off-premises at the same location must be returned to the licensing authority, which can then issue it to a new applicant.
