What happened
Residents of Collingswood will vote in November on a referendum to allow a limited number of liquor licenses in the borough. Currently, Collingswood is a dry town, requiring diners to bring their own alcohol to restaurants. If approved, the borough could be eligible for four licenses under New Jersey's licensing system.

Why it matters
The potential change in licensing could significantly alter the operational model for local dining establishments, such as Sapori Trattoria Italiana. Supporters of the measure believe that allowing alcohol sales could help attract more visitors and support local businesses.
