LEGISLATIVE & ADVOCACY UPDATES

The Bronx Chamber of Commerce urges you to contact your City Council Members ASAP and tell them to vote in favor of Int.31-C, the permanent outdoor dining bill!!!   EMAIL YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND SEND A PRE-DRAFTED MESSAGE. IT’S QUICK AND EASY   If the City Council does not vote and pass this bill ALL outdoor dining (sidewalk cafes & streeteries) is at risk of total elimination very soon AND any future prospect of outdoor dining will be in question. This would be an unprecedented disaster for our city that will cause chaos and put restaurants and jobs on the chopping block and end outdoor dining for all who love dining alfresco.   WE NEED YOU TO CLICK HERE ASAP AND TELL YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF INT.31-C, THE PERMANENT OUTDOOR DINING BILL.
