Town renews unused liquor licenses for Hanover Crossing property
Summary
Town Meeting approved a three‑year renewal of unused on‑premise liquor licenses tied specifically to the Hanover Crossing property so the site can attract future restaurant tenants; the Advisory Committee recommended approval.
Josh Donovan moved that Town Meeting accept Article 43 to extend unused on‑premise liquor licenses tied to the Hanover Crossing property for another three years. Donovan said the licenses are property‑specific and their renewal will not reduce the town’s existing allocation of licenses elsewhere.
The Advisory Committee recommended approval, noting past extensions and the need to enable tenants to lease large vacant spaces. Town Meeting voted in favor by voice vote; the motion carried unanimously.
Supporters said preserving the licenses helps the Hanover Crossing site attract restaurants and generate meals‑tax and property‑tax revenue for the town.
