On Wednesday, the Hanford Chamber of Commerce held its second monthly Business Roundtable with Mayor Francisco Ramirez.
Ramirez and Chamber CEO Amory Marple were joined by City Manager Mario Cifuentez, Recreation Supervisor Armando da Silva, Parks and Community Services Director Brad Albert, Fire Chief Steve Pendergrass and Fire Marshal Christy Whittington to talk all about food trucks.
After pushing for a food truck ordinance for years, the Hanford City Council finally approved and adopted a mobile food vendor ordinance in October.
In an effort to kick-off implementation of the ordinance, da Silva announced a food truck takeover in Civic Park beginning in April.
Liberty Park
The proposed park project, which is being called âHanford New Parkâ for now, is part of an $8.5 million grant application through the California Department of Parks and Recreationâs Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program to create new parks and new recreation opportunities in underserved communities across California.
The parks department held six in-person meetings with community members, conducted a social media campaign and partnered with the local high school district to seek input on what people would want in their dream park.
That input led to a conceptual design for the proposed 40-acre community and regional park, which would be located near the Florinda Street and 9 1/4 Avenue intersection on the east side of town.
