Downtown Open Container District and Second Friday Revival

Summary

Roughly 30 downtown restaurant, bar and brewery owners jointly asked the city to create a Largo-style open-container district in the CRA with city-branded cups — a potential new non-property-tax revenue stream — and to revive Second Friday street parties on Main Street. Staff will research it and bring it to a workshop.
