Grand Forks Study Examines Indoor Locations for Town Square Farmers Market
What happened
A feasibility study is being conducted in Grand Forks to explore potential indoor locations for the Town Square Farmers Market. Blue Weber, who serves as a community outreach liaison with Bolton and Menk, has been involved in the early stages of the process. The study aims to analyze five potential downtown sites, such as the former water treatment plant or the Beacon building, and reduce them to two for the final report.

Why it matters
The analysis is intended to determine the economic requirements for the market's expansion, specifically calculating what is needed to generate revenue over the next five years. The study will compare the costs associated with rehabilitating older buildings versus developing new sites.
