Shirley Select Board grants liquor license to Net Fuel Inc., approves emergency heating program framework. Chair Brian Hildebrant, Vice Chair Andree Jean Jacques, and Clerk Debra Flagg voted 3-0 to approve a beer and wine license for the new gas station and convenience store, with activation required within one year; Town Attorney Peter Nicosia emphasized the town has ample licenses available and cannot reject based on proximity to competitors.
