TROY — Troy Township Supervisors discussed a notification they recently received with their solicitor, Zachary Gates.
The topic was a notification from the PA Liquor Control Board informing the supervisors of an application or transfer of a license.
The notification comes from Dandy Mini Mart, located at 590 Elmira Street, just outside of Troy (next to TOPS). The notice was posted as of March 22. The company is planning to expand onto the store into a restaurant.
Supervisors and anyone wanting to protest the application must have a valid reason and must do so by April 21, with a logical explanation as to why.
Supervisors did not take action one way or another on this matter.
