Bars and restaurants open for outdoor service, but wonder if it will be enough
To help local bars and restaurants set up outdoor serving areas for the cold and wet months ahead, the city of Salem set up a $200,000 grant program to help them purchase coverings, heaters and other items. While the program will help restaurants and bars keep their products in front of customers, it's not expected to make up for an already very difficult year.
