Mobile Food Facility Ordinance Introduced to City Council

After several drafts, long debate and discussion, Lincoln Park Aldermen Scott Waguespack (32nd) and Vi Daley (43rd) introduced the "Mobile Food Facility" ordinance into the Chicago City Council chambers on Wednesday, July 28, 2010.  This is a big step - but only the first - in getting Mobile Food Facilities approved in Chicago.  The ability of chefs to cook fresh and gourmet food on trucks leads to dozens of benefits ranging from further improving Chicago's culinary reputation to providing jobs.

The draft ordinance is available here (Thanks to the Chicago Reader).

Stay tuned to the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce's website for more developments on this ordinance, including press coverage and its status in the various Committees it has been referred.
