The Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) designation was passed in a 6-1 vote by the Public Lands, Buildings and Parks committee of Marietta City Council Thursday.
With the DORA designation, open to-go drinks can be sold at bars and restaurants if they are in DORA cups. There will be a DORA grid in Downtown Marietta where the drinks are permitted with specific waste containers and signs that show the DORA boundaries.
Jennifer Starkey, Marietta City Council clerk, said the DORA designation has an emergency clause, so when Mayor Josh Schlicher signs the designation, it will go into effect immediately.

They came late, in silence. No one noticed anything unusual that night in Marietta. I haven’t heard anybody say, Hey, there was a suspicious car, or some people sneakin’ around. Nothing, nothing like that, said Marietta City Council member KorDale Lornes, talking about the night the Ku Klux Klan swept through Love County.
On the morning of Saturday, January 23, dozens of Marietta’s 2,700 residents made unsettling discoveries.
Zanesville committee to discuss ‘Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area’
ZANESVILLE, Ohio – The Zanesville City Council Community Development Committee will discuss Monday the establishment of a Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area, also know as a DORA.
Within a DORA, restaurant or bar patrons are able to carry open containers in specific DORA cups during specified times. Marietta’s Main Street Program proposed a DORA for their city as a way to encourage patrons to spend more time in their downtown area visiting retailers and bars and restaurants. The Marietta City Council is currently in the final stages of considering the DORA legislation.
The Zanesville Community Development Committee meeting is at 5 p.m. Monday and is available via teleconference. More information about accessing the meeting is available at COZ.org.
