Require a minimum age for sellers in off-premise locations that sell alcohol and servers and bartenders in on-premise locations

Adopt laws that hold private property owners who provide alcohol to minors or obviously intoxicated individuals on their property liable if someone is killed or injured as a result

Create designated tax districts that generate revenue to invest in affordable housing initiatives, blight remediation, and economic development efforts

Provide participating high school students with professional opportunities that combine academic and on-the-job training or mentorship
