Back to the Dallas Farmers Market again. But only because following our discussions on Friday, the city posted to its official up-fer-bids website further addenda concerning the physical and fiscal shape of the market after some folks interested in taking the market out of the city’s hands had further questions.
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Among their queries: How’s the market presently operated (or, who answers to whom — and how much are they presently paid)? And: How much empty space is there in Shed 2, and what is rent in there, anyhow? And: How big a piece o’ property we talking about, exactly? And: What kind of shape are those sheds in (all save Shed 2 are in “overall fair condition”)?
I grabbed the docs off the city site, and they follow. Among the revelations: The city says there are 62 available stalls in Shed 2, recently overhauled by the city for $3.2 million. Eighteen are presently filled.
