Woonsocket Board of Licensed Commissioners approves PBA Local 808 tag day, renews multiple licenses
Summary
The Board approved a tag day for PBA Local 808 on April 12, 2025 (rain date April 19) by a 6-1 vote and approved a package of license renewals 7-0, covering liquor, junkyard, secondhand dealer, street vendor, tobacco and short-term lender licenses.
The Woonsocket Board of Licensed Commissioners approved a tag day for PBA Local 808 on Saturday, April 12, 2025, with a rain date of April 19, 2025, and separately approved renewal applications for multiple business licenses.
The tag day application, listed as "25 LC 07," was moved to approve by Councilwoman Gonzales and seconded by Councilwoman Harmon. After a comment from a councilmember who said, "I have an ongoing policy that I do not support tag days at all in the city... So I will be voting against this application," the board voted. The request passed on a 6-1 vote, with the chair recorded as voting no.
The board then considered "25 LC 08," a set of license renewals that the clerk described as including licensing for automotive junkyard (Class F), Class F 1 liquor with entertainment, holiday, secondhand auto dealer, secondhand dealer merchandise, street vendor, tobacco, and consumer short-term lender. Councilwoman Gonzales moved to approve the renewals; the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Dubois and Councilwoman Fox. The renewals were approved unanimously, 7-0.
