A year ago, as Pennsylvania restricted restaurants and bars to minimize spread of COVID-19, Wrightsville Borough Council suspended the boroughâs open container law in an effort to boost business for local establishments.
Now with COVID-19 cases receding, people getting vaccinated and the state opening up, Borough Council discussed at its May 17 meeting whether or not to reinstate the open container law.
If it were up to council President Eric J. White, he would extend the suspension for another six months âjust to get us through the summer.â
âWeâve had good results with this,â he said. âPeople seem to like it.â
