Support wanes among Langley city councilmembers for changes to the food truck ordinance. Some business owners, citing empty storefronts in Langley, and disinterest on the part of food truck vendors has taken the wind out of the sails that drove the request for the change. However, Councilmember Emerson commented that food trucks can be looked at as “business incubators” that can help entrepreneurs to one day establish a brick-and-mortar storefront. Councilmember Thomas Gill stated that “(p)utting a barrier to somebody having a business opportunity, I think, would certainly qualify as something that should be removed in order to be an anti-racist city.” Kira Erickson has the story in the South Whidbey Record.
