This is the final moment!
The fate of the Madison Public Market and the many opportunities for building equity-based wealth in Greater Madison will be decided by the City’s Common Council next week.
There is a path forward for the Public Market!
Over the last few weeks, there has been renewed energy and public support for the Market.
- The County Board of Supervisors included $1.5M towards the Public Market in its approved capital budget last week.
- Multiple media stories and editorials have supported the Market.
- MarketReady vendors shared their dreams for the Public Market in a short video.
As the Common Council considers additional funding for the Market, it’s important that we the public share one more time why the Public Market is important to you.
