DEFIANCE, Ohio Less than two years after launch, the city of Defiance may see an expansion to their Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area, known as the Defiance Outdoor Refreshment Area within the city.
The 96-acre DORA kicked off in Defiance in July 2019 and was initially a big success.
Then, the DORA helped keep downtown businesses afloat during the summer and fall of 2020.
Now Kirstie Mack, executive director of the Defiance Development and Visitors Bureau, has proposed to expand the boundaries of their DORA by an additional 18 acres.
