Residents of Falls Township who enjoy eating outdoors can continue to do so, at least through the end of October.
The Falls supervisors voted unanimously to extend the provisions of its previously approved outdoor dining resolution. Originally, the resolution was approved in mid-June in response to the state’s reopening plan and limited capacity for indoor dining. The township’s resolution was set to expire 90 days following its adoption. With the extension, restaurants will be able to offer outdoor dining until Oct. 31.
“That’s a no-brainer for me,” said supervisors chairman Jeff Dence, who urged the community to continue supporting the local business community. “Do your best to keep shopping in Falls. [Businesses] are doing the best they can to stay afloat.”
According to supervisors vice chairman Jeff Boraski, extending the outdoor dining resolution was “the least we could do to help the business owners of Falls Township.”
