Construction Update: September 2024


Time again for a construction update regarding the Madison Public Market. Construction continues on pace to deliver the former Fleet Service Building to the Public Market Foundation on January 31, 2025. We are still planning to build out the vendor spaces and make other necessary finishes such that the Market opens on July 1. Photos from a recent tour are described below.

Photo #1: An exterior view from East Johnson Street. Windows and doors are being installed. Photo #2: Exterior view from the back of the building. The structure extending out from the back of the building is the roof for the loading dock. Photo #3: This shows the developing interior of the Market Hall – the heart of the Market. The grey pillars show the demarcations of individual vendor stalls. This view faces East Johnson Street. Photo #4: A view from the public mezzanine overlooking Market Hall. Again, progress on creating the individual stalls are shown. Visitors will be able to view both the Market Hall and the TruStage MarketReady Hall from this vantage point. Photo#5: Shown is the developing TruStage MarketReady Hall, a space for new food-related businesses to cook, package, process and ship their goods. The windows face East Washington Avenue. Photo #6: A view from the Mezzanine overlooking TruStage MarketReady Hall. This area will also be used for special events.

“The Public Market Foundation is dedicated to engaging neighbors and the community about creating the Market as a truly inclusive and captivating destination. I’m pleased that 2,000 people have been inspired to share their ideas and opinions on the Market. As the project moves forward, continued feedback will only make the Market a great success!” - - Larry Palm, City of Madison Alder District 12
