FERNDALE Ferndale bars and restaurants have been battling the economic toll of the COVID-19 pandemic for the past year, but a new program aims to help increase business come springtime.
On Feb. 22, the Ferndale City Council will consider the approval of establishing social districts on both sides of Woodward Avenue in the downtown. Named the Ferndale Patio Zone, social districts would allow customers to buy alcoholic beverages and drink them in public in designated areas.
