Last summer, Sammy Bajraktarevic, (right) owner of Luce Restaurant in Middletown, and server Alex Cirikovic measured a six-foot distance between tables as they set up a dining area in the restaurant’s parking lot beneath a tent in preparation to reopen for outdoor dining. Currently, indoor dining is limited to 50% of capacity and a six-foot distance between tables.
With the restaurant industry desperate for help, Gov. Ned Lamont told a business audience Wednesday that his administration is planning at least another $25 million in COVID-19 aid for small businesses in addition to the $50 million in grants now being processed.
