The Board of Trustees for the Village of Egg Harbor met Friday morning with much of the discussion focusing on helping area establishments as they deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics included reducing licensing costs for serving alcohol by 50 percent. Another item that came up was allowing restaurants and bars to expand the area where their liquor license pertains to, including sidewalks and parking lots to enable additional outdoor seating. Trustee Angela Lensch says that the assumption is overall business will be down this year, but it could turn out differently.

The board agreed to direct village staff to research what is necessary to implement the changes discussed but is holding off on any potential action for now. Their next meeting is set for June 8th.
