West Virginia council hammers out food truck rules

May 12, 2020

City officials in Wheeling, West Viriginia are hopeful the latest iteration of a food truck regulation will end past controversy over food truck operations in the city.

The approved ordinance now reads food truck operators, and any street vendor, must keep a 100-foot distance from brick-and-mortar stores and restaurants that may be selling the same food or items, according to a report at The Intelligencer.

City leaders believe it's an "equitable" ordinance that satisfies concerns from restaurant owners worried that trucks would set up right outside their locations.
