The Licensing and Consumer Affairs Department imposed a moratorium Wednesday on new mobile vendor licenses for St. Thomas and St. John.
In a press release, LCA Commissioner Andrew Rutnik cited lack of space as the reason for the moratorium, which is to take effect immediately in the district.
Rutnick held town meetings on all three major islands earlier this year to discuss problems encountered by vendors, regulatory agencies and the community.
The moratorium, which will last for an undetermined time, will not affect St. Croix.
