Under the governor’s and the City of Framingham’s regulations, all tables must be 6 feet apart. The state had specific guidelines for restaurants under the Phase II re-opening plan.
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.
