Overview: During its meeting on January 23, 2025, the Boston Licensing Board addressed several pivotal topics, the most significant being the introduction and evaluation of new ZIP code-restricted alcoholic beverage licenses under chapter 202 of the acts of 2024.

The board emphasized the importance of aligning these applications with community needs and ensuring that new business ventures positively impact the city’s diversity and economic landscape. This initiative represents a historic opportunity to reshape Boston’s economic environment and expand opportunities for historically excluded individuals and businesses.
