On June 24, the Sweden Town Board approved the amended version of the Outdoor Public Assembly Section of the Town Code after hearing public comments. This section of the code was put in place in 1971 and had not been revised since that time. The revisions were recommended by the Town’s ad hoc Code Review Committee which was formed last fall. The new code in its entirety can be found on the Town’s website.
The code now requires an approved permit application for any outdoor assemblies of 200 attendees or more gathered in the town of Sweden. There are no longer any organizations which are exempt from the code section. The application must be made at least 90 days in advance of the event. The revisions are based on the safety and welfare of the residents and visitors to Sweden.
