- Meeting Overview:
During the latest Amherst Board of Licensing meeting, a short-term liquor license application for a community summer concert series was the primary focus, with the Board granting approval, conditioned on final endorsements from the police chief, fire chief, and town manager. The applicant detailed the continuation of a tradition that includes local beer, wine, and cider sales at the event, emphasizing the success and incident-free history of past years.
The series, a staple event in the community, has incorporated local alcohol sales since 2021, augmenting the concert experience. The applicant, stepping in for the former executive director of the bid, expressed a commitment to maintain the event’s reputation and conveyed the series’ positive economic impact. The event will feature a cordoned-off area with controlled entry and exit points to ensure regulation and safety. Patrons are encouraged to bring or purchase food to accompany their beverages, complementing the community and economic benefits of the event.
Further discussions during the meeting included the logistics of upcoming meetings and the consideration of various agenda items. The next meeting is scheduled for July 11th, with the possibility of skipping it if no pressing business arises. Topics for future agendas may include advisories on takeout liquor, permanent outdoor dining, marijuana regulation, and rental registration.
