The city recently met with the owners of 472 Main Street and successfully encouraged them to make better use of the site this summer. 472 Main Street will become a place for food trucks and other properly permitted vendors, including those who are no longer permitted to cook out-of-doors.<\/p>\n
Our first kickoff event with food trucks, city personnel, council members, and other community organizations is planned for Wednesday, June 25, from 1 to 4 pm at the lot near Kennedy Fried Chicken at 472 Main Street.<\/p>\n
The June 25th event is open to City of Poughkeepsie residents, and we encourage all to come and join us!<\/p>\n
