Farmers Market opening praised for access and vendor sales in Glenstal

The City of Glens Falls IDA-LDC meeting held on June 12, 2025, focused on several key updates and community initiatives. The meeting began with discussions regarding the involvement of the Town of Queensbury in ongoing projects, specifically mentioning that they were already aware of certain developments and had participated in the approval process. It was noted that Warren County had not yet been informed about these updates, but plans were made to communicate with them.

A significant highlight of the meeting was the opening day of the Farmers Market, which received positive feedback from vendors and attendees alike. One vendor, who sold honey, reported selling out of products early in the day, indicating strong customer interest. The accessibility of parking and the availability of restroom facilities were also praised by market-goers, contributing to a successful event despite challenging weather conditions.

The meeting also touched on logistical improvements for the market, including the use of a shed for storage, which was noted to be functioning well. City representatives were present at the market to engage with the community, and plans were made for continued participation throughout June.

As the meeting concluded, no additional business was raised, and a motion to adjourn was passed. The next meeting is scheduled for July 10, with an intention to avoid meetings in August unless necessary. The session transitioned into the Glenstalt Civic Development Corporation board meeting, where a quorum was established, and key staff and consultants were present.
