Community Development

Public Service Announcement If you are opening a new, or alternating an existing business venture be sure to take time to understand and comply with the laws relating to owning and operating a business in Perry. Spending a little time talking with your local Zoning, Building, and Fire Officials will help to make the start-up a success and prevent unnecessary delays, notifications, and unforeseen costs. *Keep in mind a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Building and Fire Official is required for all occupied structures. A Certificate that was issued at a particular location may not be valid if the size, use or occupancy classification has changed. Read the entire PSA on our website.

Downtown Restaurant District Established

The City of Perry has established a restaurant district to encourage people to linger longer downtown, to visit neighboring businesses, to create a more festive atmosphere and to assist in restaurant recruitment efforts. A customer may take an alcoholic beverage in a plastic cup on public spaces within the district, including sidewalks, rights of way, buildings and public parks between 11 a.m. and midnight daily. Alcoholic beverages must be purchased from a licensee or licensed vendor and cannot exceed 16 fluid ounces in size when transporting outside the business.
