The Site

Our future Market home at the site of the Fleet Services Building (200 N. First Street) sits on nearly four acres in the heart of Madison.

Site Plan
As the gateway to the E. Washington Corridor and the downtown, the site is also a connector to the airport, the I-90/I-39/I-94 interstate system, over 200 local buses, and several bike paths.

Points of Entry
It’s important that our Market be accessible from many points of entry and for a wide variety of transportation modes and abilities. There will be over 120 car parking stalls on site, bike parking in multiple locations near several entries, a bcycle station, and a bus stop at the corner of First Street and E. Johnson.

Outdoor Seating and Experiences
Our vision to create a community gathering space will continue beyond the front door. With nearly four acres of land, the site has room for several outdoor plazas to create natural opportunities for connections and outdoor experiences:

  • outdoor seating
  • multiple art murals on the outside of the building and additional public art
  • a lounge area (The Market Porch) for enjoying warm spring and fall days and cool summer evenings
  • food carts and other outdoor vendors, including artists and crafters
  • acoustic musicians and entertainment

It’s exciting to see the progress being made toward opening a public market in Madison–it’s been a long time coming! Not only will we have access to local foods year-round, but the vision and development of this market is truly inclusive and diverse, working with a number of women-owned businesses and entrepreneurs of color, from a diversity of cultural backgrounds. Food is such an important expression of culture and a means for connection–I’m looking forward to celebrating and connecting with our diverse community of inspiring and passionate food entrepreneurs at our public market! - Otehlia Cassidy, Madison Eats Food Tours
