In a recent government meeting, the commission addressed the status of a common victualer (common Vic) license for P2B Springfield LLC, which operates \"The Place to Be\" at 1000 Hall of Fame Avenue. The discussion centered around the establishment's compliance with licensing regulations following a series of operational issues.

The commission confirmed that P2B Springfield LLC had previously operated without a valid certificate of inspection, leading to a cease-and-desist order from the building department. After a lengthy period of non-compliance, the establishment recently obtained the necessary inspection certificates and an alcohol license, which now encompasses the common Vic license.

The key decision made during the meeting was to cancel the common Vic license, as it is no longer necessary now that the establishment holds an all-alcohol license. The commission clarified that this cancellation is not a punitive measure but a procedural adjustment, as the common Vic license was initially granted due to the absence of a liquor license.

Commissioners emphasized the importance of adhering to the new operational hours stipulated by the all-alcohol license, which restricts alcohol service to 8 PM. The owner, Gina Lehi, confirmed her understanding of the new regulations, ensuring that no alcohol would be served after this time.

The commission also noted that P2B Springfield LLC would need to reapply for their licenses in the upcoming renewal period, reinforcing the need for compliance with all licensing requirements moving forward.
