Kelly Lanser, the chief of Cincinnati's Findlay Market, talks amidst three panelists at City Club's"Public Markets" discussion on Wednesday. Findlay was, as Bibb admitted, a lodestar for the West Side Market's potential going back to his campaign in 2021.
With similar consulting from Market Ventures, Inc., Findlay blossomed in the early 2010s as both a retail hub and fresh food epicenter, adding culinary classes, a Findlay Learn project to teach"food basics," and a colorful facelift that helped grow the surrounding Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. Thomas echoed the market development effect. In the past year, he said, there's been $1.6 million in development—apartments, namely—on the fringe of Baltimore's Lexington Market, which has been a nonprofit since 1981., which revamped Lexington's community-focused assets, added an open-air plaza and assistance for SNAP users.
It's what Carmedy said the Eastern Market's been tackling since 2005, when it reformed as a nonprofit. Since then, Carmedy said, Eastern's grown to host 150 brick-and-mortars, 120 being food distributors that either deal wholesale with Michigan and Ohio farmers , or sell meat, say, to nearby Five Guy's and Walmarts.
Justin Bibb is nothing but another woke radical trying to completely destroy the city. He hates the police that protect the people. 12 hour shifts? Good luck. And this 15 minute city us a sick joke. FJB
