Khatamova stated the business will aim to assist in the growth and development of kids and their families. Com. Richards asked what the proximity of the brewery is to the after-school tutoring facility and if it would impede the liquor license. Attorney Brankin noted that the use in question does not have any location restriction in relation to a brewery. Com Richards asked how many students are anticipated?
