Vendor Permit Lottery

Project Background

A city government offers annual public Lottery awards to qualified cart and kiosk vendors within the City’s public right of way. The Lottery was designed to ensure that all the vendors have an opportunity to be selected for a right of way location prior to the application and approval process. In order to remain independent, the city government hired Warbird as an independent firm to conduct the Lottery.
