CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Open container will soon be allowed in downtown Clarksville during certain days and hours thanks to new state legislation designating a “Downtown Entertainment District.”
According to bill, sponsored by Rep. Jason Hodges and Sen. Bill Powers, the city can now designate times to allow open container outdoors. Traffic would be shut down on affected streets during these hours.
“It brings a little bit of Beale Street to Clarksville,” Hodges told Clarksville Now.
“We have remarkable new investments in our downtown area, but there is more potential,” Powers said, adding that the new law will increase tourism and encourage job creation.
