The Select Board of Charlton convened on May 13, 2025, to address several key administrative matters, including appointments, resignations, and special licenses.
The meeting began with the reaffirmation of a signatory appointment, which was approved unanimously by the board members. Following this, the board accepted the resignations of two members from the Zoning Board of Appeals, Eric Falcone and Shane Woodson. Falcone is relocating out of town, while Woodson cited scheduling conflicts as his reason for stepping down. The board expressed regret over their departures and plans to send letters of thanks for their service.
In a significant business transaction, the board approved the transfer of a Class 1 license from McGee GMC Inc. to Butler GMC Inc. This transfer follows the sale of McGee GMC to Ray Butler, with all necessary paperwork completed. The board welcomed Butler GMC to the community, expressing excitement for their future operations in Charlton.
Additionally, the board reviewed and approved two requests for special alcoholic beverage licenses from Timber Yard Brewing Company. The first license is for a Jeep event scheduled for May 17, 2025, while the second is for a vintage car event on June 25, 2025. Both applications received prior approval from local authorities, including the police chief and fire department, and were granted with conditions allowing for alcohol delivery and pickup surrounding the event dates.
The meeting concluded with all motions passing unanimously, reflecting a collaborative effort among board members to support local businesses and community events.
