AVON Gov. Jared Polis stopped by Northside Kitchen in Avon on Tuesday afternoon to sign a new bill into law that extends alcohol beverage takeout and delivery for the next four years in Colorado.
“It’s been tough for small businesses and restaurants,” Polis said. “But we’re always looking to figure out what are those things that we did during the pandemic that worked and can create a new normal that’s better for small businesses, for consumers.”
