The Zeboski project would generate $300,000 a year in tax revenue for the town, Marinelli said.

The sale of the old South School to a developer will be one step closer if Holbrook special Town Meeting approves Article 1 Wednesday night, Sept. 11.

The article seeks to create an overlay district to allow a development of 50 residential units consisting of 10 single family homes in a cul de sac off Quincy Street and 40 townhouses on the 11.6 acre site.

On June 26, selectmen announced Stephen Zeboski had presented the winning bid to purchase the former South School property, rejecting Siddharth Siddharth’s $1.1 million bid to build Gardens at Holbrook, calling for 150 housing units in three, three-story buildings.

The town’s license board has approved a liquor license transfer for a 26,000 square package store on Pearl Street.

BRAINTREE ? A controversial big-box liquor outlet that opponents say would be bigger than all of Braintree’s other stores combined has received the town’s approval to open on Pearl Street.

Braintree’s license board voted 4-1 Tuesday to transfer a license held by Pearl Wine and Spirits at 97 Pearl Street to Total Wine and More, an outlet chain that has 188 locations in 23 states from coast to coast, including five in Massachusetts. The transfer still requires the approval of the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.

Total plans to open a 26,000-square-foot store in Ivory Plaza at 180 Pearl Street, next to TJ Maxx and HomeGoods. Frank Marinelli, a lawyer representing Total, told the board last week the store offers 8,000 varieties of wine, 2,500 of beer and 3,000 of spirits. The stores do not sell cigarettes or lottery tickets, he said.

Marinelli said the store would open four or five months after receiving approval from the state commission.

The national liquor retailer is seeking a license for a store on Pearl Street.

BRAINTREE - The license board has scheduled a special meeting for Tuesday morning to decide on a request from a national liquor retailer to open its latest outlet on Pearl Street.

The town’s license board held a hearing on the request Tuesday, but postponed a decision until a meeting next week at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 16 at town hall.
