About the Kalamazoo Farmers Market Project
The first phase of renovations at the Kalamazoo Farmers Market added new vendor space, a new office building with more restrooms, more parking, and connected the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail to the market along Bank Street. To facilitate these improvements, Bank Street was rebuilt and realigned as it intersects Lake Street. The project was funded by the City’s Capital Improvement Project, the Foundation for Excellence, the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and Consumers Energy.
Planning for a second phase of improvements is underway and proposes to add a playground and a new events space to the Market.
