Madison Public Market opening delayed to late fall – Cap Times


An article published in the March 31 edition of the Cap Times provides an update as to the expected Public Market opening date. The articles states that the Madison Public Market Foundation had intended for the market to open this July, but construction delays have pushed back the opening date, according to CEO Keisha Harrison.

“Due to the construction delays and the extended timeline that allows the Foundation to begin buildout of merchant spaces, we are most likely anticipating a late fall 2025 opening date,” Harrison wrote in an email to the Cap Times.

“After being involved with the MPM planning for over a decade, I could not be happier for city leaders and staff, and more importantly the entrepreneurs that will make it special, that this project is inching its way towards reality. The Madison Public Market will be a unique center of excellence serving the Madison Region in the agriculture, food and beverage industry. It will also anchor the Cap East District, making it even more dynamic. Kudos to all those involved.” - Michael Gay, Senior Vice President of Economic Development, Madison Region Economic Partnership
