Public hearing on liquor ordinance is set for Dec. 7

The Election Day mandate from voters to permit the sale of alcohol in package stores in town moved a step closer to reality, as the Board of Selectmen Monday set the date for a public hearing on a liquor ordinance. The hearing, which will be held on Monday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m., enables residents to weigh in on how the sales of alcohol ought to be regulated.

“The ordinance will then be subject to review and modification,” said Second Selectman Susan Bruschi, who chaired the meeting in the absence of First Selectman William Brennan.
