Once known for decades simply as Lena’s, the building on Route 2 just west of the State Park, now has new ownership and they hope to have the restaurant re-opened in the near future. At the Monday, February 19 Planning Board meeting, a change of use proposal was approved to allow Carissa Castiglione’s new establishment to serve both wine and beer. The action followed a public hearing at which no one spoke for or against.
Prior to that, the Board also held a public hearing on a lot line adjustment requested by Eric McShane for his property located at 31-35 Benker School Way. As with Ms. Castiglione’s hearing, there were no speakers and during the Board’s regular meeting the adjustment was also approved.
