In a recent meeting of the Plymouth Select Board, held on June 3, 2025, members gathered to discuss several key issues impacting the community, including a significant change in alcohol licensing and updates to beach parking policies.

The meeting commenced with the board approving a motion to transition Newcamp Corp's store at Sandy Pond from a wine and malt package store to an all-alcohol package store. This change, championed by former select board member Charlie Blitzer, aims to better serve the local community by providing a wider range of alcohol options in an area previously underserved. The board unanimously supported the motion, reflecting a collective commitment to enhancing local business and community satisfaction.

Following the licensing discussion, the board moved on to approve a series of one-day wine and malt licenses, as well as outdoor amplified music licenses, all of which received unanimous consent. These approvals are expected to facilitate various community events, contributing to the vibrancy of local culture and social life.

The meeting also addressed administrative notes, particularly changes to the resident beach parking sticker eligibility policy. The board clarified that inquiries regarding eligibility would now be directed to the town manager's office after initial reviews by the treasurer collector's office. This adjustment aims to streamline the process and ensure that residents receive clear guidance on their eligibility for beach access.

As the meeting concluded, the board's decisions underscored a proactive approach to community needs, balancing regulatory changes with the desire to enhance local services and engagement. The unanimous votes reflect a unified vision for Plymouth's growth and responsiveness to resident concerns, setting a positive tone for future initiatives.
