Dario Paone runs Volo Craft Pizza. His is one of many businesses that will benefit from the additional 6-foot sidewalk expansion. "We are very tight in here. We don't have seating where people can sit down and enjoy pizza, so what's happening outside is definitely going to do great things for the business," Paone said.
Town Administrator Sean Fitzgerald said during the pandemic, restaurants were forced to only allow outdoor dining. For the past three years, the town has been using jersey barriers to allow for outdoor dining. Now, the town will make some outdoor dining areas permanent.
