More detail
Webster officials could approve a license for all types of take-home alcohol. The license would cover G.T. Legacy Group, doing business as Pine View Liquors, at Pine View Plaza, 164 Gore Road. Other state alcohol licensing requirements would still apply. If it becomes law, it would take effect immediately. The first license would have to be issued within three years; later grants to another applicant could occur afterward.
Webster could grant the license to another applicant only at 164 Gore Road. Applicants would need state tax and unemployment agency letters confirming the license meets their requirements and all required taxes, fees, and contributions are paid. The license would have to be returned if it ends or goes unused. Town officials could grant a returned license to another applicant within three years of its return. Otherwise, it would expire.
