EDIC's RFP For Falmouth Station Prompts Big Turnout In Support Of Current Tenants

There was an unusually large turnout at Falmouth’s Economic Development and Industrial Corporation meeting on Tuesday morning, September 14, all due to one agenda item.

About eight residents showed up to participate in the discussion of 59 Depot Avenue, where John P. Marcellino and his wife, Marion, operate The Station Grill.

The EDIC had a longtime goal of opening a food establishment in the station and in May 2018 awarded the concession to Mr. Marcellino, who had a successful past in the food truck business.

Mr. Marcellino’s three-year lease for the restaurant is up, and Massachusetts state procurement laws require certain procedures to be followed, including an impending request for proposals (RFP) for the property.

Although an RFP has not been issued yet, public knowledge of the state’s procedural requirements and speculation about what that might mean for The Station Grill prompted a group of patrons to attend the EDIC’s meeting.
