A total shutdown of breweries, bars and restaurants would devastate our industry and economy. We believe the 21-day curfew is a reasonable compromise to help combat the spread of the virus.

Our small businesses – like many others around Ohio – are still experiencing significant negative economic effects and would welcome financial relief in the form of waived or deferred licensing fees and additional stimulus funding.
