Marquette farmers market will get new look

A revamping of the Marquette Commons to better serve the downtown farmer’s market is underway–although it will mean the fountain art installation that marks the commons area will be gone.
Excerpt: The Marquette Downtown Development Authority has plans to reconfigure the Marquette Commons with the assistance of a state grant.
The grant – it totals $24,537, and includes a pledge for $43,623 in local matching funds – comes through the Michigan Economic Development Corp.’s Farmers Market Grant Program, which provides one-time grants between $10,000 and $50,000 to existing farmers markets that have been in operation for at least four years in Michigan.
