Newport Borough Council approved an inter-municipal transfer of a restaurant liquor license during its Sept. 17 meeting. The license, which can be traced to the former Newport Tavern in Oliver Twp., would be utilized by a proposed convenience store at 29 North Second St. The store would have seating for roughly 30 and be operated by Ansh Shah, 21, who currently is a psychology major at Penn State. Shah said the location will feature a deli, and sell hot dogs, sandwiches and other to-go foods. Shah estimated the operation, which has a renovation budget of $38,000, would employ around 12 to 15 individuals.
