Speaker 1 presented options for the town farmers market and asked council guidance. Options included increasing marketing (balloons, Facebook/Instagram, local print), broader vendor outreach, changing location (e.g., South Madison/Federal Street), reducing frequency (e.g., once per month), outsourcing to a third-party organizer (but consultants wanted 40–50 vendors to be viable), or pausing the market until clarity. Speaker 1 noted planning must start now for a tentative May 2025 season.
Middleburg Town Council discussed the future of the town’s weekly farmers market and potential changes (location, frequency, outsourcing or pause); received a multi-year update on the South Madison Street streetscape project including interim tree/sidewalk options and a proposal to preserve historic stones; amended committee term recommendations and approved an additional employee holiday for Dec. 23, 2024; council then entered closed session for litigation and personnel matters.
