Rutter's wants to move a liquor license it acquired at auction earlier this year to a store in West Manchester Township, according to a public notice . It's the same liquor license that CHR Corp., which does business as Rutter's Farm Stores, tried to move to its store at 249 N. Main St. in Shrewsbury. Borough officials denied the transfer in August after a three-hour public hearing that included criticism that the company hadn't been a good neighbor . CHR Corp. was the winning bidder for two licenses during a June auction of excess restaurant licenses that may be transferred across county lines. The expired restaurant licenses had been put up for auction before but did not receive any bids, according to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. CHR Corp. bid $200,670 for a restaurant license from Sheffield Township in Warren County, the state Liquor Control Board said. In addition to paying the winning bid, the company must also pay a $50,000 fee to transfer the license to another county. Rutter's has a six-month deadline to apply for the transfer of the license. The York County-based convenience store chain now wants to move the liquor license to its store at 2115
PERRYVILLE — Residents who live along Cecil and Maryland avenues are asking the town to help them tame a neighbor’s crop of bamboo. “The bamboo hangs over sheds, solar panels are in danger,” Veronica Kranz — who lives on Maryland Avenue — told Perryville’s mayor and commissioners. “We’re asking you to remove the bamboo from the alley and keep it clear.” While Maryland law allows counties and towns to enact its own legislation to control this plant, Mayor Michelle Linkey said she is only aware of one town that has such a law on its books and it’s not Perryville. “Maryland has 157 towns and only one has that ordinance,” Linkey told Kranz, adding she will be contacting that town. Montgomery County prohibits the sale, planting or transplanting of running bamboo. Frederick County went a step further, levying fines of up to $1,000 per day for selling or distributing “invasive bamboo.” Kranz said she and her neighbors have tried to work with the property owner to no avail. She pointed to town history and law in her search for assistance. “Since 1902, there’s been a public alley there,” Kranz said of the access road running in between the homes. “I’m

PERRYVILLE — The section of Belvidere Road that travels over Interstate 95 will be closed to traffic from Nov. 6 through Nov. 16, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority. This is part of the construction of the new interchange for I-95. Belvidere Road is being widened to four lanes for the ingress and egress on and off the interstate. ”The work includes improvements to Belvidere Road to accommodate the interchange and larger bridge structure,” an MDTA spokesman said. “The project will replace the existing overpass and construct new ramps connecting Belvidere Road to I-95.” When it was officially launched by then-Gov. Larry Hogan in October 2022, the plan was to have it completed by 2025. MDTA has not announced a new completion date. The $65 million project aims to reduce truck traffic on US Route 40 and Maryland Routes 222 and 272. Traffic will be detoured via Theodore Road.

CHARLESTOWN — Town officials closed North Ogle Street briefly Thursday morning after discovering a large portion of the street sinking. “We’re trying to figure out what’s causing it,” said Ken Hamilton, town administrator. One of the causes of the sinkhole might be an underground spring, he said. He noted that heavy construction equipment connected to a Cecil County wastewater treatment project may be partly to blame. “Allan Myers has been running equipment down there,” he said. Allan Myers is a construction and paving contractor with a location in Cecil County. Bobby Straiton, Charlestown’s Public Works chief, said while the sunken portion itself is about 6-by-5-feet, the compromised asphalt measures 20-feet-by-8. The asphalt had not yet opened but was severely cracked and sunken down. “We closed it down for safety reasons,” Hamilton said. The road is now re-opened with steel plates in place as a stop gap. Any repairs will have to take certain infrastructure into play, he added. “There’s a town water line that runs down that side of the street and a sewer line on the other,” Hamilton said. Sawhorses were blocking the road Thursday morning, but Hamilton said steel plates were brought in to open the road for
