The historic, more than century-old public market has fallen into disrepair over the years with broken-down elevators and electrical problems that at one point temporarily kept the public market from opening for several days.
Artist rendering of the improvements includes an indoor courtyard, more public seating, an event venue that can be rented out, new kitchens, and a special elevator to keep vendors from going outside to receive deliveries. Also included in the plan are building-wide air conditioning, a new heating system, electrical improvements, as well as 12 leasable spaces to accommodate prepared food vendors.
Don Whitaker, the Owner of DW Whitaker Meats and President of the Westside Market Tenant’s Association says, there’s real hope that change is finally on the way, “I’ve been in the market 40 years now, owned my own business 30 years, I’ve seen a lot of plans. This one seems like it’s going to come to fruition. As vendors we want to see the building maintained, it’s been neglected over the years. I’m not blaming anybody, the facility is more than 110 years old now.
