Select Board OKs North Main package store bid

Select Board · Meeting of November 2, 2026

Sheffield's Select Board approved a package store application at 1955 North Main Street after a hearing. Sing Estates LLC sought an all-alcohol license for the old dealership property; one member said earlier they would abstain, and the ABCC must still act. Applicant Gary Sturman said the store would keep normal hours and use electronic ID scanners.

Susan Silk of Silk's Variety said "a small town can only support so much," and several residents voiced concerns. The board also accepted Alpine Elevator's two-year maintenance contract at $7,800 in year one and $11,700 in year two, and approved a digital equity grant letter seeking an additional $3,770 from the state.
