Townshend board approves liquor, tobacco licenses and community event requests; backs library grant application
Summary
The Select Board approved liquor and tobacco licenses for local applicants, authorized a Grace Cottage Hospital 5K common‑use request (May 9), approved a library letter of support for window/heating and ramp work, and granted the library use of town hall for a book sale.
The Select Board granted routine licenses and event approvals during the meeting. Members approved an outside consumption liquor license and a first‑class restaurant/bar liquor license for the West River Community Project Company, and approved a tobacco license for the Harmonyville store; motions were seconded and passed by voice vote.
The board also approved a common‑use request from Grace Cottage Hospital for its Spring Into Health 5K on May 9 (07:45–11:30), authorized the Chair to sign related documents, and waived the fee for the event. The board approved a town hall use request for the library’s annual book sale and agreed to allow early storage of donated books in the dining room in mid‑April.
Library supporters asked the board to sign a standard letter of support for a library grant to replace windows, upgrade heating and build an outdoor ramp. The board approved the letter by motion. The board’s actions were procedural and intended to facilitate community events and grant applications; no financial commitments beyond typical fee waivers and grant‑match obligations already noted elsewhere were made.
