A social district for downtown Bridgman has been approved by the city council. Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber President Arthur Havlicek tells WSJM News social districts are areas where people will be allowed to buy and walk around with alcoholic beverages. A state law allows cities to establish them to help businesses recover from pandemic restrictions. Havlicek says communities across Michigan are taking the opportunity.
“Downtowns are recognizing this and establishing social districts as a way to attract more consumers to their downtown and generally give a boost to their overall economy,” Havlicek said.
Now that the Bridgman City Council has approved a social district, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission has to sign off on it. Havlicek says businesses right in the downtown area would qualify to take part.
