CLEVELAND — There's a big change coming to how the West Side Market operates; Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb said a new nonprofit is in the works to take over management duties for the indoor market that has been a Cleveland fixture for more than a 100 years.According to the mayor's office, the nonprofit will manage the day-to-day operation, but the city will still retain ownership of the market, as it has since 1912.
“Master planning for the West Side Market is key to ensuring this transition is successful. The West Side Market is a Cleveland jewel that has so much potential for growth and community impact,” said Bibb. “We will have a strong strategy and specific solutions to problems that have challenged the Market before we hand operations off to a nonprofit to lead the West Side Market in its second century.
Cleveland Ward 3 Councilman Kerry McCormack, whose ward includes the WSM, is looking forward to the transition, stating that other markets in the country have done so with success.
