Lakewood City Council considering one-time food truck permit

The booming food truck industry and looming Lakewood Truck Park project planned for the corner of Edwards and Detroit avenues has City Council considering a mobile food service industry ordinance.

Lakewood At-Large Councilwoman Meghan F. George has proposed up-to-date standards in regard to safety, sanitation and liability.

“I’m referring to it as common-sense regulations around food trucks,” George said. “I think it’s important for us to know who is providing food services within our community. The idea is to make sure food trucks are safe for the public.

“So in addition to already being certified by the Cuyahoga County Board of Health, they’ll be inspected by the Lakewood Fire Department,” she said. Read More.

First, I would like to personally extend a huge thank you for the outpouring of support my family has received over the past few weeks. I only wish my dad were here to see how many lives he had touched during his too short 66 years here with us. I’m trying to take comfort in knowing he died doing what he loved. I’ve been asked if I’m going to continue my campaign and my response is ABSOLUTELY! My father would be so disappointed if I stopped now. With that being said, many have asked how they can help. I have set aside two dates in October for a citywide campaign literature drop. Details are published on this website and my facebook page Meghan F. George for Lakewood City Council. Please share and pass along as all are invited.
