Business program extended into winter

Boulder announced Thursday that the city will extend its Business Recovery Program into the winter.

As part of the program, businesses will be able to continue operating outdoors on sidewalks and parking lots and will be permitted to install temporary heated structures.

Street closures currently in place along west Pearl Street and on University Hill will also remain in effect, as will expanded curbside pickup zones and to-go alcohol sales.

Permits already issued to city businesses will automatically be extended until Feb. 28, 2021.

Businesses looking to join the program can find additional information at bouldercolorado.gov/ planning/boulder-business-recovery.
