During this Tuesday morning, a working meeting was held in the municipal Assembly Hall to normalize the operation of food carts in Concordia.
The meeting was attended by workers from the sector, along with officials from various municipal areas and the Deliberative Council. The goal is to normalize and streamline the activity, providing solutions to entrepreneurs, as well as ensuring food safety for their potential customers.
The Director of Revenue, Fernando Marsicano, highlighted that the meeting made progress on the focus of regularizing the sector, noting that “it is a management objective not only to improve collection but also to facilitate procedures and eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks in permits, giving taxpayers more facilities when carrying out procedures.”
For her part, Councilwoman Eliana Lagraña reported that “what the ordinance proposes is the holding of an express procedure day, which will take place at the Convention Center on August 23.” There, workers who have food carts “can bring all the required documentation and at the end of the day they will leave with the authorization to operate,” she detailed.
The aim is, in this way, to eliminate “bureaucratic obstacles and facilitate the administrative procedures they need,” the councilwoman pointed out. That is why “we met today, seeking to ensure they are aware of all the documentation requirements needed so that they arrive on the 23rd with their files complete,” she concluded.
As discussed, the action is part of the growth that the gastronomic activity has been experiencing in the different events and shows in Concordia, with high demand from residents and tourists. And it includes certain “subdivisions such as food trucks, food carts, and hot dog stands,” Lagraña detailed.
The meeting was attended by officials from the areas of General Inspection, Food Safety, Traffic, and the Architecture Directorate.
