North Andover (MA) Select Board - July 20, 2026

The North Andover (MA) Select Board meeting on July 20, 2026, included several procurement and licensing discussions. The board approved a new off-premise wine and malt beverage liquor license for Market Alresca LLC at 556 Turnpike Street and added alternate managers to existing liquor licenses for Sachi's Pizza and TJR Line Inc. They also accepted the surrender of an all-alcohol on-premise liquor license from Anyamo Social Restaurant and Bar. Additionally, the board approved special one-day wine and malt liquor licenses for community events. A significant agenda item was the presentation by the Lawrence Municipal Airport Manager regarding a major capital improvement project to demolish and rebuild the airport terminal building. The project, estimated at over $7 million, is funded primarily by a state grant with a 95% reimbursement rate. The airport requested a waiver or reduction of building permit fees, which the board decided to review further before making a decision. The meeting also covered acceptance of donations totaling $225,000 for police and fire equipment and training, and the board discussed ongoing master plan implementation and a housing development proposal. No final votes were taken on the airport permit fee waiver during this session, but the board planned to revisit the issue at a future meeting.
