VICTORY: Amherst Passes Fair Food Truck Law

Food trucks

Restaurant-sponsored proposed regulations in Amherst, New York, threatened the burgeoning food truck market with restricted hours and zones, as wells as heavy permit fees. Concerned that the burdensome regulations would stifle vital new businesses in Amherst, Jeremy Horwitz started a MoveOn Petition to the town board. After the petition gathered nearly 3,500 signatures, the board finally passed fair rules to govern food trucks.
