ALBANY, N.Y. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed new legislation on Wednesday, allowing restaurants to utilize municipal spaces for outdoor dining. This includes spaces such as sidewalks and streets.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Cuomo signed an executive order that allowed restaurants to use these public spaces. Now under this law, as restaurants recover from the pandemic, they can continue to utilize municipal spaces for another year.
The charge stems from an alleged Alcoholic Beverage Control Law violation in Massena.
