The City of Worcester announced late Friday the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission has increased the city’s quota for each category of Section 15 off-premise licenses by five.
The City cites population growth as the reason for the increase.
This brings the total number of licenses to 42 all-alcohol and 42 malt and wine licenses.
Applications for the new licenses are due Aug. 23. If all the licenses are not granted from the pool of applicants who have submitted at that time, subsequent applications will be considered in the order received.
