“Although the board has the right to approve without notices, Martino and attorney Jack Keilty were asked to file the notifications at this week’s public hearing,” said Julie Rydzewski, clerk for the Licensing Board.
Plans are underway for the build-out of the premises, according to Keilty. Work will begin on the now mostly vacant mall strip where Countrywide Home Loans once conducted business. Currently, there is a office occupying one commercial unit in the mall.
