On May 18, Board of Health Director Tom FitzGerald informed the Westfield News that there were seven food vendors in town that hadn’t paid their required permit fee to operate as a licensed food business in Southwick. The deadline to pay the fee was May 21. Since then, six establishments besides Pasticceria Italia have paid the fee. FitzGerald noted that if a place didn’t pay the fee by May 21, a $150 fine would be issued by the Board of Health.
The original deadline to pay the permit was on January 31. Despite that, FitzGerald decided not to issue fines and sent out letters to those respective establishments to remind them to pay the permit fee.
