The Town of Chapel Hill should reduce fees and look to its neighbors in order to create a policy that encourages more food trucks in the area.
There have been several successful celebrations in Chapel Hill in the past year that featured food trucks, but in each instance the trucks were granted special event permits valid only for the duration of the event.
To succeed, you have to put a tremendous amount of work into it
“For me, this is all about a having a passion and a dream, and seeing that dream come to fruition,” Inserra said
Chapel Hill Town Council passed an ordinance allowing food trucks
$600 per vendor to cover inspection and enforcement costs
The fees will offset the cost of hiring a part-time employee to enforce the new regulations
The rules were approved with little council comment and no citizens spoke for or against
Chapel Hill inched closer to allowing food trucks
The town has proposed letting food trucks operate in some lots in commercial districts
