Hearing for Victory Hill House entertainment license at 240 Main Street continued after applicant absence
Summary
The council opened a public hearing for a proposed Victory Hill House entertainment license (240 Main Street) but continued the hearing to the next meeting after the applicant failed to appear. The clerk was asked to notify the applicant of the requirement to attend.
The Pawtucket City Council convened a public hearing on April 23 for a proposed first-class entertainment license for Victory Hill House at 240 Main Street (license Vic-25-5) but continued the hearing to the next meeting after the applicant did not appear in person or indicate participation online.
Councilors said they would either deny the application or recess and continue the hearing; the council voted to recess and continue the hearing to the next meeting and asked the clerk’s office to notify the applicant that personal attendance will be required to seek approval.
The council opened the public hearing as advertised and then recessed it after staff and the clerk confirmed no applicant or members of the public were present to speak on the record. No testimony was taken on the merits because the applicant was absent.
Why this matters: Council rules require the applicant to appear for a public hearing to answer questions and address neighborhood concerns; the hearing will return to the council’s agenda at the next regular meeting.
No vote on the license itself was taken; the hearing was continued.
