Kent will expand the DORA to accommodate two more businesses

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Kent is set to extend its Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) borders to include two more businesses. The outdoor refreshment area will extend across the Main Street Bridge and down Gougler Avenue to accommodate the Bell Tower Brewing Co. at the corner of Park Avenue and Gougler.

To guard against potential litter along the Main Street Bridge, city council will make sure trash cans are placed at both ends of it.
