Beaverton Food Carts: It's Going to Be a Thing

Food carts are coming to Beaverton.

Dana Biggi has been awarded the city's first ever food cart pod competition grant.

And if the name is familiar - Dana is the granddaughter of Rose Biggi, founder of Beaverton Foods.

Big plans to create a pod on an empty lot at the corner of Southwest Millikan and Rose Biggi.

In a release, city officials said the site was selected because "it will be a catalyst in a growing area near light rail, and because the property will accommodate a large number of carts to create an attraction in the area."

The grant will reimburse Biggi for up to $25,000 spent on things like predevelopment and construction related costs in developing the pod.

No word yet on when the pod will be able to open.
