Using his emergency powers, Gov. Ned Lamont temporarily modified certain state and local laws in order to expand outdoor dining and retail during the pandemic. Under the emergency rules, West Hartford allowed restaurants and retailers to expand into sidewalks and roadways, including popular new outdoor eating areas in LaSalle Road and Farmington Avenue.
However, the emergency declaration related to outdoor dining expires April 20, and the town is urging Lamont and state lawmakers to extend it.
“Our restaurants and retailers have been loud and clear – they need predictability in order to invest in equipment and properly plan for the upcoming outdoor season,” said Town Manager Matt Hart. “We have heard their concerns, and the proposed ordinance should give businesses confidence that West Hartford’s outdoor dining and retail program will continue in much the same manner for 2021.”

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (KFVS) - A Heartland city has a new proposal that could affect the way your drink in the downtown area.
The Poplar Bluff City Council is looking for new ways to attract patrons to what they want to call the entertainment district.
“I think the biggest thing we’re trying to do is create more traffic downtown,” said City Manager Matt Winters.
He believed this can be done with the approval of a new law.

Residents of Randall will pay less on the cityâs portion of their property taxes in 2021, even though the levy rate will go up slightly.
The Randall City Council voted to raise the cityâs levy by 1% at its meeting Wednesday night, but the decertification of a 15-year-old TIF district bond caused the tax rate to drop. The tax rate for the city portion of property taxes was 61.916% in 2020, but the city paid off the bond for the Bremer Addition, which began in October 2005. That pushed the tax rate down to 53.78%.
The amount levied in 2021 will be $164,471, up from $162,843 in 2020. A preliminary levy was set in September for the rate to go up 5%, but after further discussion, the Council opted for the smaller increase.
