A team of community members, together with restaurant owners’ feedback, created criteria to be met in order to be named a Refreshed Dining Location.
Sustainability and sensibility were essential and the group determined that meeting five of the eight criteria would get a restaurant started.
“This initiative doesn’t mean taking choices away but focusing on the good that is already present and growing more of it.”
