Waiting List for General Vendor Licenses
A General Vendor license is required to sell, lease or offer to sell or lease goods or services in a public place that is not a store. The maximum number of General Vendor licenses that DCA issues to non-veterans is limited by law to 853. DCA maintains a waiting list, which is currently closed, and calls applicants in the order of the randomly assigned priority numbers.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
