Proposed Three Rivers farmers market introduced; DDA asks for more review
Summary
DDA Director Angi Metty introduced a proposed farmers market April 21; DDA board members and residents offered input and asked for the DDA to review the proposal before the commission takes action. The commission did not record a final decision.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) introduced a proposed Three Rivers farmers market during the April 21 City Commission meeting, prompting questions from residents and a request from a DDA board member to postpone a final decision until the DDA could complete its review.
DDA Director Angi Metty presented the project to the commission. Resident Blaine Edgell asked about vendor requirements. Jason Ballew, identified in the minutes as a DDA board member, asked the commission to postpone action so the DDA could review the project; DDA Chair Charlie Wolgamood provided additional details about the proposal.
Several residents spoke in favor: Anna Beardsley and Chad Ely expressed support. Resident Yolanda Myers asked why the city would not have two markets, indicating community interest in marketplace options. Minutes record that the board discussed the matter further but do not show a motion or vote on the farmers market application at this meeting.
Because no formal action or vote is recorded in the minutes, the application remains under review by the DDA and the commission.
