Chamber Supports Amending the Site Plan for SER Restaurant on North Glebe Road

On Saturday, September 17, the Arlington County Board approved the Site Plan amendment for SER Restaurant on North Glebe Road, permitting them to construct a permanent outdoor pergola.

Last week, the Chamber sent in a letter to the County Board which supported this addition to SER. The Chamber believes that support for Arlington restaurants is vital, and that this ordinance will provide SER with the valuable opportunity to expand seating capacity at a time when restaurants in Arlington are still struggling.
