Vendors at the Broad Street Market have had their livelihoods set back many months, if not forever.

The Harrisburg City Council’s decision not to approve the bid from Alexander Building Construction Company to rebuild The Broad Street Market must be reversed.

They need repairs to start immediately. My husband Chip Milspaw, Esq., established the Broad Street Market as a corporation decades ago while a board member of Historic Harrisburg. Arguing over the administration’s team that selected the Alexander company, despite acknowledging it’s the best and most reputable construction firm to do the work, is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Over the years, the firm has donated tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, to city projects, especially to nonprofits.
