The Amherst Design Review Board convened on September 18, 2025, to discuss a request from a local mobile food truck owner, Mr. Campan, who sought permission to operate at two locations for special events. The first request was to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Captain's Club, owned by his friend Heidi, at 232 Park Avenue. The second request involved setting up at 301 Church, where a new car detailing shop is being established by his friend Ryan.

Mr. Campan explained that he was invited to provide food services for the anniversary event, although the specific date had not yet been finalized. He also expressed interest in being available for various events at the car detailing shop, indicating a flexible approach to scheduling based on the events planned by Ryan.

Board members engaged with Mr. Campan, inquiring about the event schedule and the protocol for submitting requests for future events. Mr. Campan noted that he was unsure of the process but was eager to comply with any necessary requirements.

The discussion highlighted the community's support for local businesses and the potential for collaboration between the food truck and new establishments in the area. The board did not make any immediate decisions but indicated a willingness to facilitate Mr. Campan's requests as they develop.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of local events in fostering community engagement and supporting small businesses in Amherst. Further discussions and follow-up actions are expected as event details are finalized.
