Spring Hill officials change regulations on food trucks, pave way for expansion
SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WKRN) — Food trucks have grown in popularity across Middle Tennessee. Now, Spring Hill leaders are working to help them out.
Spring Hill Mayor Matt Fitterer told News 2 that food trucks started gaining popularity around 2022 and the city started to get requests for more of them. Previously, Spring Hill regulations only allowed one food truck to operate in a given area.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen overhauled some zoning codes and ordinances, so now, two or more food trucks are allowed to create a sort of courtyard and allow residents to have multiple different dining experiences all in once place.
The change has been a long time in the making; ordinances now also provide clarity on where food truck operators are allowed to serve food.
Fitterer said that food trucks offer a unique dining experience and that the old regulations weren't accommodating what residents wanted.

'Our rules just didn't match what our customers — our citizens — were demanding,' Fritterer said. 'So really, we were just trying to modernize the code a little bit and be responsive to where that industry has kind of matured.'
Fritterer wants small up-and-coming businesses to find a friend in the City of Spring Hill. He hopes the new rules will open opportunities for residents to try different eateries.

U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel Say Their ‘Partnership' Is Sealed
U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel announced on Friday that they had entered into an agreement with the U.S. government to seal the terms of a 'partnership' between the companies, more than a year after the Japanese steel maker first tried to buy its U.S. competitor. Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., under pressure from the United Steelworkers union, blocked the deal on the basis that it was a threat to national security. President Trump, who also initially opposed the deal, reversed himself and decided to look for a way to revive it. The companies referred to the deal as a partnership, echoing language that Mr. Trump used in describing the transaction he blessed three weeks ago. But U.S. Steel has not indicated to shareholders that it has altered the $14.9 billion sale to Nippon that they approved in April last year. 'We thank President Trump and his administration for their bold leadership and strong support for our historic partnership,' the companies said in a statement. 'This partnership will bring a massive investment that will support our communities and families for generations to come.' The companies said they had entered into agreement with the U.S. government to alleviate any security concerns posed by the deal, known as a national security agreement, which calls for roughly $11 billion in new investments by 2028. The deal will also give the U.S. government a 'golden share' in the company, a rarely used practice through which the government takes a stake in company. In the United States, the government has typically taken a stake only in companies that are ailing or in particular need of government attention, like General Motors during the 2008 financial crisis. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
