Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership seeks county letter of support for Warren Farmers Market improvements
Summary
Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership asked commissioners for a letter of support to enable grant applications to add lighting, seating and bike racks at the Warren Farmers Market on county-owned property; commissioners indicated no objection.
Representatives of Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership told commissioners they manage the Warren Farmers Market and are seeking a letter of support from Trumbull County, the property owner, to accompany grant applications for site improvements.
Speakers said the market moved last year to a county-owned property at 347 Park and has become more active. Partnership representatives said they had secured prior grant funding for a sidewalk and landscaping and are pursuing additional capital improvements to encourage pedestrian use, including lighting (potential FirstEnergy grant), seating and bike racks.
Commissioners present said they saw no issues with providing a letter of support, and staff said they would prepare a draft for the board to sign. Partnership representatives noted there was an ARPA match and an ODOT match of $15,000 for demolition and earlier site work, and they emphasized their intent to seek external grant funds rather than request county capital contributions.
No formal vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; commissioners and staff indicated they would prepare and present the letter of support as the property owner.
