Towns currently are allowed one license for every 3,000 residents

The video from PBS, titled "Advocates Call for More New Liquor Licenses," discusses the ongoing debate over liquor license distribution in Massachusetts. Advocates are pushing for an increase in the number of new liquor licenses available, particularly in underserved areas, to stimulate economic growth and support local businesses. The current system, which caps the number of licenses and ties them to specific locations, is seen as restrictive and outdated. Proponents argue that more licenses would help revitalize neighborhoods and create jobs, while opponents express concerns about potential increases in alcohol-related issues. The video highlights the perspectives of local business owners, community leaders, and policymakers as they navigate this complex issue.
