San Bernardino County residents may soon be able to enjoy grub from food trucks on local streets.
Supervisor Janice Rutherford said she is working on an ordinance to reverse a ban on food trucks operating in the county and hopes to discuss it with her fellow supervisors in the next few months.
"I think this is a great opportunity for a new type of small business and for jobs," Rutherford said. "I also think there's a great demand for it."
Matt Geller, the president of the Southern California Mobile Food Vendors Association, said overturning the ban would stimulate the local economy.
"I think its a great business model," Geller said. "If someone wants to start a brick- and-mortar restaurant, it might cost them a million and a half dollars, but if you want to go into it with these food trucks, you don't need to be a wealthy person."
