To support restaurants, bars, and other food and drink establishments, the Town launched the 'Al Fresco in the Hills' initiative beginning in 2020 to provide opportunities for additional dining space to help reduce revenue losses caused by necessary compliance with COVID-19 regulations. Through the 2020-2022 patio seasons, the Town approved 16 temporary patios through the program.
The Al Fresco in the Hills temporary patio program is now closed. Food and beverage establishments wishing to install a permanent patio in 2023 are encouraged to contact the Town.
