Millbury could grant six additional restaurant or club alcohol licenses

Millbury’s licensing authority could grant six additional restaurant or club licenses to serve all types of alcoholic drinks on site. Two licenses could be located anywhere in Millbury. Four would be limited to the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley at 70 Worcester Providence Turnpike. The licenses would follow chapter 138, the state’s alcohol licensing law, except section 17. If passed, the act would take effect upon passage. Each license would need to be first issued within two years of that effective date.

Millbury’s licensing authority could grant the shopping center licenses to new applicants at the same location. These rules would cover the four licenses at the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley at 70 Worcester Providence Turnpike. Officials could not approve moving them elsewhere. A new applicant would need letters from the state Department of Revenue and Department of Unemployment Assistance confirming the license’s good standing and payment of all applicable taxes, fees, and contributions. A license that ends, is not renewed, is cancelled, is revoked, or is no longer used would have to be physically returned to the town’s licensing authority with its rights and restrictions. A license first granted within the two-year issuance window could be granted to a new applicant at any time afterward.
