The Circleville City Council Judicial Committee has set into motion legislation which could lead to a Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area, also known as DORA.

The next step has the city law director writing legislation that will go to the full city council for their vote.

A DORA allows people to carry alcoholic beverages inside of a designated area that are purchased inside restaurants or taverns.

The proposal is for Circleville’s downtown area, including businesses on Court Street, Main Street, Watt Street, Franklin Street, Pickaway Street and Scioto Street.

It was decided to have the DORA in place each Thursday through Saturday, with the exception of the week of the Circleville Pumpkin Show. That the event would be from 5pm-10pm on Thursdays and Fridays and noon to 10pm on Saturdays.
