Preschools Move Risks for Downtown Ottawa Bars
Ottawa commissioners approve USD 290 preschool move into the former Girls Club building on West Fourth. The change may void El Mezcal and Pizza Village beer licenses due to 200 foot rule near schools unless a grandfather clause and waivers are granted. The vote would modify the 200 foot rule to a main entrance standard and add public hearing backed waivers, aligning with state liquor law language.
