CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb on Thursday took another step in the transformation of the West Side Market, announcing the incorporation of a new non-profit Cleveland Public Market Corporation to manage the 111-year-old institution.

Under the new structure, it will continue to own the facility and real estate but the independent CPMC will manage the market operations. One of the board’s first tasks will be to hire an executive director for the market. The search will be led by Waverly Partners, LLC.
