PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA)

Pendleton Town Hall 100 W State St, Pendleton, Indiana

WHAT IS A DORA?

A Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) allows patrons 21 years and older to purchase alcoholic beverages from approved businesses within the DORA and carry them outside to be consumed within the DORA’s boundaries. Beverages may be taken around the designated DORA, either while relaxing outdoors, enjoying one of the many downtown events, or while shopping at retailers permitting DORA beverages in their businesses.

WHY A DORA?

Many Indiana cities have already taken advantage of Indiana legislation, which has allowed them to establish DORAs. Pendleton aims to facilitate a vibrant setting that promotes economic development and enhances the downtown experience.

BENEFITS OF A DORA?

Drives Residents and Tourists to the Downtown
New Revenue Source for Restaurants and Bars
Increased Revenue and Spending in Retailers within the DORA Boundaries
Supports the Local Economy via Increase in Food & Beverage Tax Revenue
Easier Process for Organizations Hosting Downtown Events in the DORA
