DDA approves funds to prepare downtown restroom site for food-truck events
Summary
The Waynesboro Downtown Development Authority voted to fund temporary improvements at the future downtown restroom site so it can host food-truck events, and asked staff to request a city waiver of vendor fees; the first event is set for Oct. 16.
The Waynesboro Downtown Development Authority on Sept. 24 approved spending to prepare the future downtown restroom site so it can be used temporarily as a food-truck stop and community gathering area. Jenna Maddox moved to authorize the expenditure; Jesse Palmer III seconded the motion and it passed.
Nan Lynch and Lindsey Keller presented plans for the site that include picnic tables and other furnishings to accommodate food trucks until construction on the restroom project begins. Don Lively, a DDA staff member, was asked to contact the city about waiving vendor fees for food trucks that attend the events.
Board members set the first food-truck night for the third Thursday, Oct. 16. The motion approved funding for the temporary site improvements; the transcript records that the motion passed but does not list a roll-call vote tally.
The action follows broader downtown activation plans discussed at the meeting, including holiday events and a planned Downtown Open House. The authority did not specify a funding amount in the meeting record nor identify which department will manage the vendor-fee waiver request.
