During a recent government meeting, officials expressed concerns regarding the operation of a liquor store located near a school. The discussion highlighted the need for clear communication of these concerns to the business, emphasizing that the relationship between the school district and the liquor store should be maintained without conflict.

One official suggested that signage could be implemented to inform customers of the proximity to the school, ensuring that they are aware of the potential implications of their actions. The official noted that while they do not wish to impose burdens on the business, it is crucial for the liquor store to understand the community's concerns.

The conversation also touched on the regulatory framework governing liquor licenses, indicating that the business must adhere to local licensing authorities, which include selectmen from both towns involved. The hours of operation were flagged as a particular area of concern, especially in relation to school hours.

Additionally, the meeting referenced a local bylaw in Yarmouth aimed at reducing the sale of non-intoxicating products, known as NIPs, although it was unclear if similar measures were being considered in Dennis. The officials agreed on the importance of formally conveying their concerns to the town of Dennis, underscoring a neutral stance while advocating for community awareness and safety.
