Mill Town Prepares for Future Skyline Entertainment
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Food, liquor and entertainment licenses have been granted to Skyline at Seven LLC at the former Skyline Country Club, though activity there is not anticipated anytime soon.
Tim Burke of Mill Town, who purchased the former country club for $750,000 earlier this year, told the Selectmen on Monday that while most of the property will be devoted to the planned installation of solar fields, the plan is to reintroduce the main building "for events consistent with the club's previous usage."
"We have no plans to do anything this year, but do expect to have some event type structure eventually," Burke said.
The board approved all three license requests by unanimous 2-0 vote. Chair John Goerlach abstained due to business dealings with Mill Town.

Katara Mullet will join the town's administration as interim town treasurer, effective immediately, following approval of her appointment by the Board of Selectmen on Monday.
