Midtown Farmers’ Market needs your help

The Midtown Farmers' Market's generous landlord of 7 seasons—Minneapolis Public Schools—will sell the Market's site of 7 seasons for redevelopment this winter. The Market wants to be part of the redeveloped site at 2225 East Lake. In fact, the Corcoran redevelopment plan (which is part of the city's plan) calls for housing, retail, and public open space including a farmers' market. But city plans and zoning cannot ensure that redevelopment will accommodate a farmers market.
