Local Licensing Authority (LLA)

The Town of Dunstable has voted to allow liquor licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages On Premise and Off Premise (M.G.L. Ch. 138 Ch. 12).

The Dunstable Select Board will serve as the liquor licensing authority (LLA) of the Town of Dunstable. Under Massachusetts General Law, the LLA acts on behalf of the State (the Alcohol Beverage Control Commission (ABCC)) which authorizes the issuance of liquor licenses.

The LLA has broad discretion and a range of conditions that it can impose on a liquor license holder, including on an establishment’s hours of operation, trash collection and management, parking availability, signage and other items, as deemed appropriate.
