One mobile vendor permit has been renewed, another has been delayed in Ridgefield. The Board of Selectmen granted an extension for a coffee and lunch truck which serves construction sites including the recently complete library and the under construction Prospector Theater.
The Ridgefield Press says the permit was approved on a 4-to-1 vote. Action was delayed on granting a permit to a flower vendor, which would not have a set destination.
The Selectmen reportedly want to talk with the town's attorney about developing a possible ordinance about governing mobile sales. There is some concern that the roaming vendors would hurt brick-and-mortar stores that pay taxes.
