It’s been a good year for Mike Nguyen. Not only are his Philadelphia Phillies playing in the World Series, he and partner Louise Monroe had a successful first year operating Cozy’s Dockside. The duo’s effort was so successful they requested to extend their lease for three more years, and selectmen unanimously agreed. Board Chairman Gerry Gamage reported the lease remains from May to mid-October for $2,500 per month.
“We had a good year and busy. We thought it would slow down after the yacht club closed, but it really kept going until the last weekend,” Monroe said.
Selectmen thanked the duo for reopening the business after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. “They are real good tenants,” Gamage said.
In other action, selectmen approved a Dec. 10 town hall rental for Marie Kelley to hold a Christmas party.
Selectmen meet next at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9 in the town hall.
