The Falmouth EDIC has reached a lease renewal agreement with chef John Marcellino, owner of The Station Grill on Depot Avenue.

EDIC executive director Wayne Lingafelter said the lease for the establishment has been renewed through the end of December 2023 as of last week, putting an end to any qualms over the potential loss of a restaurant so loved by the community.

“I think the reason we got the extension is because of the people of Falmouth, the visitors, and the summer residents that spoke up on our behalf,” Mr. Marcellino said in a phone call. “I feel that the EDIC is meeting me halfway in trying to solve this problem [and] I think that the two-year extension is a beginning.”

The issue first arose in September, when the EDIC discussed a potential request for proposals for the property as required by Massachusetts state procurement laws. A handful of residents, including Mr. Marcellino, attended the meeting to voice their support for The Station Grill. The discussion of lease renewal was the subject of numerous executive sessions for the EDIC board, but the resolution is one that Mr. Lingafelter thinks will please the eatery’s supporters.
