St. Mary's ABC approves transfer of Tackle Box license with 90‑day health and occupancy conditions
Summary
The Alcohol Beverage Board of St. Mary's County approved the transfer of ownership for the Tackle Box beer license to Benjamin and Heather Windsor with a 90‑day conditional approval pending health‑department and occupancy permits.
The Alcohol Beverage Board of St. Mary's County on Sept. 11 approved the transfer of the Tackle Box liquor license to Benjamin R. Windsor and Heather M. Windsor, subject to health‑department approval and an occupancy permit within 90 days.
Board chair David Willenborg read the application and asked the applicants to be sworn. Applicants Benjamin Windsor and Heather Windsor said they were purchasing the corporation and that Kenneth R. Lamb would remain a corporate officer during a transition. They told the board they planned no changes to operations or the premises. "The intention is keep everything the same," Benjamin Windsor said.
A motion to approve the transfer included two contingencies: approval from the health department and a valid occupancy permit. The board voted in favor; the approval was issued as a 90‑day conditional authorization pending those documents.
The board noted appeal rights to the circuit court for St. Mary's County for any party with standing within 30 days of a final decision. The board administrator, Tammy Hildebrand, and the board attorney, Chris Beaver, explained that the health department would be contacted and that the applicants were already communicating with county staff about occupancy approval.
The board did not discuss changes to the business model or hours; applicants said no operational changes were planned while Kenneth R. Lamb remained involved.
The board wished the applicants well and closed the item after the unanimous vote.
