The Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs Wednesday implemented a moratorium on issuance of all new mobile vendors licenses.
In a press release, DLCA Commissioner Andrew Rutnik cited lack of space as the reason for the moratorium, which is to take effect immediately in the St. Thomas/St. John district.
Rutnick held town meetings on all three islands regarding problems encountered by vendors, regulatory agencies and the community.
The moratorium, which will last for an undetermined time, will not affect St. Croix.
For more information contact the Division of Licensing at 774-3130.
