Almost 10 Weimar residents, almost all women, in support of local businesses called for Weimar City Council to enable The Weimar Tavern to operate a kitchen and to loosen tight restrictions on food trucks during the council meeting, Thursday, March 12.
The council reviewed but ultimately took no action on The Tavern’s request for electrical service connection and an ordinance on mobile food units. Citizens in public comment emphasized a need for new and different food options in town.
“The most common things I hear from residents, visitors and business owners is that Weimar needs more food options, a coffee place, and it comes up again and again and again,” Weimar Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tiffany Hougardy said. “…I know everyone here, y’all want to support small businesses that’s obviously why everyone is here tonight. We don’t need business leaving our town or selling because things aren’t happening fast enough.”
