WESTFIELD, Ind. — People visiting downtown Westfield will soon be able to enjoy alcoholic beverages in outdoor public areas.

“We are excited that we’ve received DORA approval for downtown Westfield,” Mayor Scott Willis said in a statement. “This initiative will foster a sense of community downtown and showcase our local establishments. It’s a win-win for our residents and businesses by creating a unique outdoor experience.”
