Acton Select Board approves licenses for Atlantic Sea Grill and Habibi Service

The Acton Select Board convened on April 7, 2025, at 7:10 PM in the Francis Faulkner Hearing Room to discuss various community matters and hold public hearings. The meeting began with announcements, including a plant swap scheduled for April 19 at the West Acton Library from 10 AM to 12 PM, encouraging residents to participate.

The board then addressed the ongoing Complete Streets study in South Acton Village, inviting community feedback on proposed concepts available on the town's website. This initiative aims to enhance pedestrian and vehicular access in the area.

Next, the board discussed the marking of boundary markers for the town of Acton, with plans to commence this project in April, contingent on suitable weather conditions. The board expressed interest in involving community members in this historical endeavor.

The first public hearing of the evening focused on an application from Seafood from Heaven LLC, operating as Atlantic Sea Grill, for a common victualer license at 77 Great Road. The representative assured the board that the restaurant would maintain its current menu and staff, with only minor changes anticipated. The board unanimously approved the license after a brief discussion.

Following this, the board held a second public hearing regarding a livery license application for Habibi Service, located at 420 Great Road. The applicant, who has experience in the industry, expressed his intent to operate the service from Acton. The board welcomed the application and proceeded to address any questions from members.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted community engagement opportunities and the board's commitment to supporting local businesses. The next steps include further updates on the boundary markers and continued discussions on community projects.
