In these uncertain times, Vermont businesses need as much certainty as we can provide. The new flexibility from Directive 4 to serve alcohol by curbside and delivery methods has provided a needed source of revenue for our struggling small Vermont businesses. As these businesses look forward and plan for the coming months which will be filled with great uncertainty, it would be helpful to know that they can depend on the flexibility afforded to businesses under the Governor's Executive Order and incorporate it into their business model.

It is for this reason that we ask you to put into law the temporary ability to offer curbside for take-out, curbside pickup and delivery of alcohol, including spirit-based drinks and malt and vinous product accompanying food orders for off-premise consumption.
