The vendors are subject to outdoor conditions and and sales slump during the winter.

By bringing the building or the market indoors, we feel that it will increase the the year round viability for the vendors and help their businesses stand on stronger footing as we move forward.

The rehab or the rehabilitated market will have 60 stalls, which will include the 48 stalls for the dry good vendors.

As well as some stalls for food vendors so that the incubator program can be expanded to food based entrepreneurs who are looking to start their business.

We also believe that the food based businesses will help increase length of stay at the market and hopefully help boost sales for the vendors.
