E-DEMOCRACY | Lowertown development and the Saint Paul Farmer's Market

By Multiple authors, E-Democracy issues forums

From: Mary C. Zanmiller Date: Apr 21 23:59

So is the public discussion about the Farmer's Market leaving it's current site in Lowertown going to happen after everything is a done deal? Does the public have a voice in this? Will anyone listen? Is there accountability for this decision?

When has City Hall ever said recently they want the Farmer's Market to leave Lowertown?? I recall about ten years ago a proposal existed briefly to move it across the river to the West Side Flats area but that was shot down by the community.

I think someone is just starting false rumors.
