A DORA is an area approved by City Council that allows those ages 21 and older to buy alcoholic beverages in a designated cup from permitted businesses and carry the beverages onto public property.
“Mason’s Downtown is a growing vibrant community,” the city said in a statement. “Establishing a DORA is another tool to help promote Mason’s growing vibrant downtown as a destination for dining, retail and entertainment.”
