The Westbrook City Council gave preliminary approval Monday night to an
ordinance that would allow strip clubs to operate in the city's industrial
zones. Restrictions would include a requirement that dancers be partially
covered up. Mayor Colleen Hilton said the ordinance received unanimous approval
on a first reading. It must go through a public hearing and a second
reading--scheduled for Nov. 1--before it can be enacted. A representative for
Dreamers Cabaret, the club on Warren Avenue that led councilors to consider the
ordinance, said it is poorly crafted and unconstitutional.
