Loading...
Summary
The Select Board unanimously approved two liquor-license renewals and granted several Wells Chamber mass-gathering permits (powwow, chili fest, family jamboree, Veterans Day 5K, Christmas parade) after no public objections were raised.
The Select Board on Jan. 20 approved routine license renewals for two local restaurants and granted multiple mass‑gathering permits to the Wells Chamber of Commerce.
The board closed public hearings and granted a full‑time beer, wine and spirit liquor license renewal for WPL LLC doing business as the New England House (124 Post Road), and a full‑time beer‑and‑wine renewal for Pizza Market to You LLC (Pizza Market of Wells, 75 Wells Plaza). Both approvals carried on unanimous voice votes.
The board also considered and approved five mass‑gathering permit applications from the Wells Chamber of Commerce for community events scheduled in 2026: a powwow at Wells Harbor Community Park in July; a chili fest on Aug. 22 at Wells Junior High School; a family jamboree in October at Wells Harbor Community Park; a Veterans Day 5K on Nov. 14 at Trail Blazers Family Club; and the Christmas parade on Dec. 13 along Route 1 North to Wells Junior High. No members of the public spoke at any of the hearings, and motions to close the hearings and grant the permits carried unanimously.
Board members did not attach special conditions to the permits during the meeting. The approvals allow the events to proceed as proposed, subject to any standard permitting conditions and any agency permits required for public safety or road use.
The board’s actions were procedural and final for these routine renewals and permits; no further board action was announced during the meeting.
