The full story

The Select Board voted on Sept. 15 to update a range of local permit and license fees, moving several items to new rates to reflect processing costs and multiyear appointments. Judith Whiteside, a member of the board, reviewed the proposed schedule and recommended raising the one-day wine-and-malt permit from $25 to $50 and setting a one-day all-alcohol license for nonprofits at $100. "I suggest we go to $50," she said when discussing the one-day wine-and-malt fee.
