Restaurants had been closed since mid-March, and under the Governor’s order could only do take out or curbside, until Phase II.
Starting yesterday, June 8, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was allowing outdoor dining, under Phase II. Restaurants that already had outdoor dining in 2019, could begin service on June 8. Those who were adding seating needed local approval.
The Framingham License Commission reviewed the applications of about 10 establishments Monday night.
