On July 1, 2020, Governor Whitmer signed House Bill 5781 into law creating the Social District Permit. The governing body of a local governmental unit may designate a Social District within its jurisdiction. Qualified licensees whose licensed premises are contiguous to the commons area within the Social District, and who have been approved for and issued a Social District Permit, may sell alcoholic liquor (beer, wine, mixed spirit drink, spirits, or mixed drinks) on their licensed premises to customers who may then consume the
alcoholic liquor within the commons area of the Social District.

The City of Imlay City, in an effort to continue the revitalization of the downtown and increase opportunities for business and recreation, is creating a social district that encompasses all qualified licensees within the downtown and allows for consumption at multiple locations throughout the district under the management of the Downtown Development Authority.
