City Council approves renewal for Larry's Auto Repair license with strict stipulations

The Pawtucket City Council meeting on June 5, 2025, focused on two significant license renewals, including an auto repair shop and a summer festival event.

The council reviewed the renewal application for Larry's Auto Repair, located at 519 Pawtucket Avenue. The renewal comes with several stipulations aimed at minimizing disturbances in the surrounding area. These include restrictions on outdoor work, a prohibition on music outside the facility, and limitations on vehicle storage. The business is not allowed to operate after 6 PM, and no parking for employees or tow trucks is permitted on the street. The council unanimously approved the renewal, maintaining all existing stipulations.

Additionally, the council addressed a petition from YB Marketing for a Latino Summerfest scheduled for August 2, 2025, at Festival Pier. This event will include the sale of alcoholic beverages and is set to run from 2 PM to 10 PM. The council moved to take up this petition, which had been postponed from a previous meeting.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to balancing business operations with community concerns while also promoting local events.
