Permanently 'temporary'?
Council continues debate about city rules for flea markets, vendor stands
W 090115 GREEN MAN 01
Theo Lanier Sr., also known as "The Green Man," and sister Dorthea Holt scoop up a serving of fresh boiled peanuts Tuesday at their location on South Main Street.
Staff members gave Statesboro City Council a new draft of a Temporary Vendors Ordinance that would "grandfather in" some existing vendors, such as Green Man's Corner on South Main Street and Ellis' Open Market on Northside Drive East. However, during the hearing that was part of Tuesday morning's regular meeting, some council members continued to question the need for the new rules. In early June, the mayor and council members had instructed city employees to stop enforcing permitting requirements on temporary vendors until an ordinance can be enacted.
