17th Street Farmer’s Market may be open year round

Using stimulus money, the city is hoping to invest $600,000 in enclosing the 17th Street Farmer’s Market, allowing it to be open year round. The Richmond Economic Development Director believes a year round market will expand opporunities for vendors and members of the community. A farmer’s market in historic Charleston is the model for the potential project. City leaders say the project can be funded even if Richmond does not receive the federal stimulus money.[via]

Would you like to see the Farmer’s Market open year round?

Bill Clinton at the 17th Street Farmer’s Market

April 27, 2009

the market opened this weekend, but…

The 17th Street Farmer’s Market opened this past week. Vendors are optimistic about the upcoming market season according to Michael Paul William’s column this week. However, a few folks visiting the market felt that it wasn’t ready on time, as evidenced by many last minute preparations including the Mayor’s aides having to help hang banners. Some long time vendors are upset about the market being closed on Sundays…
