Due to a number of State of Michigan Executive Orders, in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic, many restaurants have experienced financial hardship. On June 10, 2020 the Macomb Township Board of Trustees approved a process to allow added or expanded outdoor bar/restaurant seating to assist businesses with restricted occupancy and subject to customer social distancing restrictions. Restaurants and bars may now request a permit to add or expand outdoor seating areas in accordance with the regulations listed in this document.
Starting on Monday June 15, 2020 and ending on November 1, 2020 (unless occupancy and social distancing limitations are rescinded and subject to Board amendment) an approved establishment will be allowed to have added or expanded outdoor seating.
A permit is required through the Macomb Township Planning Department.
