Gadsden City Council members approved a second entertainment district for the future development of the city's western riverfront property.
An entertainment district allows people to take marked alcoholic beverages from one venue to another.
The district includes existing businesses, restaurants, and undeveloped property between South 4th Street and Rainbow Drive from Moragne Avenue south to I-759. The district also includes areas between Highway 411 and the Coosa River from the boardwalk down to River Road.
The designation was effective immediately.
Chambless King Architects Firm is working on the riverfront master plan. It is expected to be a multi-use development.
"We're excited about this. This is going to change Gadsden and our entertainment area," said Ford.
