Food Truck Debate Sign of City's Growth, Confidence In Economy Says Mayor

Having food vendors vying for space to operate is what the mayor calls a good problem.

Mayor Mel Norton tells CHSJ News that the food truck debate is a problem that signals growth and a sign that entrepreneurs see opportunity in this city and have confidence in economy if they're willing to take a chance on Saint John.

Norton says that finding a compromise between existing restaurants and the street vendors is one of those challenges that comes when growth happens. 

But the wheels are turning: Waterfront Development plans on meeting with Market Square tenants to talk about the possibility of allowing food trucks.
