Longview, Texas, seeks to improve opportunities for food trucks

August 15, 2017

Longview, Texas, lawmakers have proposed a plan to allow food trucks to use parking spaces along Green Street at Heritage Plaza during the peak hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, according to The Longview News-Journal.

On weekends and after 5 p.m. on weekdays, the city would allow food trucks in parking spaces along Fredonia and Center streets between the Gregg County Courthouse and the Cotton Street parking lots south of the railroad tracks.

The city council could approve the plan by September 14.

Main Street Advisory Board members asked the city to expand ordinances to give mobile food trucks more opportunities to operate in downtown, said Michael Shirley, development services director.
