The discussions were held in partnership with the Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce, and was organized by State Senator Tong Hwang. The group sat on Railroad' Place’s new outdoor dining locations, which were constructed over the parallel parking spaces once found alongside the local train station strip. Ideas like that were the crux of the conversation as the group focused on ways communities could better provide support and flexibility to both restaurants and customers.
