According to plans, the new building would be a different shape, but about the same size. The new building would also feature a deck alongside the building.
The owners have held several fundraisers in recent months, including a golf tournament and selling Tradesman merchandise online. The proposal for the new bar will go before the Planning Board at a meeting set for Tuesday.
