The City of Clearwater Public Art & Design Board meeting on April 13, 2023, highlighted the development of a new community Mercado at the intersection of Cleveland and Cultivate. This Mercado aims to serve as a vibrant gathering space for residents, featuring a variety of vendors selling food, drinks, and other items.

The design includes a small indoor building intended for storage of tables and chairs, which will be utilized for various community events. This initiative reflects Clearwater's commitment to fostering community engagement and providing a space for local commerce and social interaction.

The board's discussions emphasized the importance of creating a welcoming environment that encourages community participation. The Mercado is expected to enhance the local culture and provide a platform for residents to connect and enjoy shared experiences.

As plans progress, the city looks forward to the positive impact this Mercado will have on the Clearwater community, promoting both economic activity and social cohesion.
