The mayor of College Park, Maryland, is pushing for an extension of Prince George’s County’s indoor dining ban.
College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn said he plans to broach the issue with County Executive Angela Alsobrooks during a call with county and municipality officials on Wednesday.
“As much as it pains me to see our local businesses struggling like this, this is what we need to do to protect the lives and health and safety of our residents and the people who come to College Park,” said Wojahn.
Prince George’s County shut down indoor dining in mid-December and kept outdoor dining at 50% capacity. Restaurants can offer curbside service and takeout. The ban was upheld in court. Restrictions expire on Jan. 16.
