Around 20 restaurants in Hamilton Township have been approved to serve outdoor dining starting June 15, with others that had previously offered and been approved for outdoor dining reopening on Monday as well.
“After months of waiting, our restaurants can finally begin to reopen to customers and recover economically,” Mayor Jeff Martin said in a press release. “Hamilton’s wide variety of dining establishments are a huge part of what makes our community so special. We are excited that residents may once again enjoy their favorite restaurants in an outdoor setting.”
The township Departments of Health and Community and Economic Development have been working with local restaurants to ensure a safe reopening for employees and patrons.
The township has created a Temporary Outdoor Dining Application and created Guidance for Safe and Healthy Dining for restaurant owners and managers. The township will waive the filing fee and expedite the review of all applications seeking to create outdoor seating.
Restaurants must also certify that they will abide by all CDC and state regulations and recommendations for the food service industry. This includes social distancing guidelines, the wearing of masks by all staff members and increased frequency and intensity of cleaning surfaces.
All temporary outdoor seating areas must be closed by 10 p.m. on Monday to Thursday nights, and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
