Mid-Michigan is a social place! There are social districts in neighborhoods like Charlotte, St. Johns, and Lansing where customers can buy a drink at a bar and take it outside to a designated area. Now, it’s official! Downtown Mason is set to get a social district, too.
- Mason City Council has approved a social district for downtown, joining other Mid-Michigan communities like Charlotte, St. Johns, and Lansing.
- The district will extend past the Courthouse Pub and into the antique district, allowing patrons to carry alcoholic beverages outside participating establishments.
- While approved locally, the district still needs state approval and likely won’t be operational until January 1st.
