Outdoor drinking in Garrettsville is nearing approval

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Garrettsville is considering establishing a Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area, which would allow patrons at area restaurants to consume alcohol outside. The DORA would include parts of Main and South streets.

There were no comments at a May 12 public hearing to establish the DORA, but one person posted a comment on the village council’s YouTube page: “Does Garrettsville really need more public intoxication? When is the village going to address the drinking and driving that’s happening?”
