UPDATE On Last Weeks Story
A battle over a liquor license transfer to the Framingham BJ's store appears to be over for now.
The board had denied a license transfer last year because it would be within 800 feet of another licensee
The board denied the application based primarily upon the proximity of the proposed license to another liquor license, the existing density of liquor licenses in the immediate area (given the character and layout of the neighborhood), lack of variety/uniqueness in the proposed offerings, and duplicative of other licenses in the area
The board determined that the elements of 'public need' pursuant to state law were not met.
