CLEVELAND, Ohio — New details are emerging about how a historic Cleveland landmark could see new life. Thursday, the city and a newly formed nonprofit presented their final recommendations for the West Side Market master plan.
“The vendors became friends,” she explained. “We lived on welfare. On Saturdays, the owner of BJ’s would have saved all of the ends of the rolls of lunchmeats, so they were in odd shapes and sizes. And that’s what he would sell to us. That was pretty personal.” “[We’re] really focused on figuring out how we can operate the market in a way that meets the new nonprofit vision, keeps the market authentic and frankly meets the bottom line so the market can operate self-sufficiently,” said Jessica Trivisonno, who was designated as the city’s West Side Market strategist by Mayor Justin Bibb’s administration.
“There have been discussions and plans for many years and [vendors] feel like those promises have not been kept. So the test will be - will the plan be implemented?” said Ted Spitzer of Market Ventures, Inc., the consulting firm assisting with the market masterplan. Another $14 million would go to other improvements. Presenters Thursday explained they want to add a shared commercial kitchen in the basement, so vendors could prepare food on-site. A renovation of the North Arcade would include a food hall with space for 12 businesses and a bar. Additional seating would be added to an outdoor plaza and the East mezzanine, along with event space and a teaching kitchen for educational classes.
