COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â The Coldwater Area Chamber of Commerce has announced that the Branch County Economic Growth Alliance is sponsoring another round of Dine In or Takeout Tuesday.
The Chamber says this will be a great help to local restaurants that are trying to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns and are at a limited capacity.
The promotion has been going on for over two months is still going even though the ban on indoor dining has been lifted by the State of Michigan.
Dine In or Takeout Tuesday will include downtown businesses starting next Tuesday, February 16.

It’s been a rough year for restaurants, but the Coldwater Area Chamber of Commerce wants to be “The city that saved restaurants.”
When restaurants were only open for takeout, the chamber hosted Takeout Tuesdays featuring about two a week.
Although that restriction has been lifted, chamber support is continuing, but the name has been changed to Takeout or Dine In Tuesday and it starts next week.
The rules are the same. Customers who patronize one of the weekly featured restaurants can text a photo of their meal receipt to (260) 438-3556 to be entered into a weekly drawing for gift certificates from participating chamber members.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â The Coldwater Downtown Development Authority took a couple of steps on Wednesday that they hope will lead to the development of the former Taylorâs Stationers building at 60 West Chicago.
They approved a $4,000 request for architectural work. Current plans call for the second and third floors to be laid out for residential use with the bottom floor being used for retail businesses. Options for basement use would also be looked at.
Lisa Miller from the Branch County Economic Growth Alliance said she has already gotten a pair of quotes and there may be a third one.
