Jo Daviess County panel to hold hearing on farmers market fees

The Jo Daviess County Board of Health will hold an upcoming public hearing to consider a proposed change to the county’s fee structure for farmers market permits. Currently, a farmers market permit costs $50 per year for county residents and $100 per year for vendors from other counties. The new proposed fees would eliminate distinctions based on residence, charging $50 per year for vendors who sell only eggs and $100 per year for all other vendors. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 7th.
