Operative words

Mayor Linda Gorton today waived 2020 liquor license renewal fees for bars, restaurants and several other facilities. The waiver applies to businesses shut down by Governor Andy Beshear's orders as 'non-essential,' or those required to operate under limited capacity because of COVID-19.... Over the summer, Gorton worked to cushion the blow on many of these same businesses operating under limited capacity by finding ways to allow them to expand seating on sidewalks and parking lots.

Notes

Local government's own record, eight days before Executive Order 2020-968, that Lexington's bars and restaurants had been 'shut down' or 'required to operate under limited capacity' by the Governor's orders through 2020.
