Foxborough could allow three more on-site alcohol licenses

The bill would let the Select Board grant three additional licenses for on-site alcohol sales. The licenses must go to business entities located in the Foxborough Center Overlay District shown on a plan held by the Select Board. The board must assess whether applicants meet the bill’s criteria and follow applicable licensing rules, including rules on fees. The bill would take effect upon passage.

A revoked or unused license would have to be returned to the Select Board, which could reissue it. This applies to any of the licenses granted under the bill that is revoked or no longer in use; it must be physically returned with its legal rights and privileges. A new applicant must meet the bill’s criteria and have a business in the district. The new applicant must pay a $5,000 reissuance fee. These rules would take effect upon passage.
