• Butte County Opens Door to Mobile Food Courts (gridleyherald.com) — Richvale residents and business owners can now host mobile food courts on private property under new Butte County zoning rules for unincorporated communities. The ordinance sets permit costs, operating standards, and distance requirements from nearby homes, while excluding incorporated cities like Chico and Oroville. Expect more coordinated food truck sites, provided property owners secure the required county permit.
