[Vision2020] The Way It Was Meant to Be . . .

[Darrell Keim]

I like the idea of putting the Market on Main St.  I recall this idea
coming up while I headed the Chamber in 2007-8.  We co-hosted several
informational meetings about it.  Hardly anyone showed for the first two
meetings.  Then word got out among downtown business owners, and the third
meeting was well attended by a contingent of owners that were dead set
against it.

The idea was shelved after that.

Some of the businesses had legitimate complaints.  Like the maternity shop
not wanting pregnant mothers to have to walk far for parking.  But, by in
large, I couldn't see why a business would complain about an event putting
hundreds of people at their doorstep every week during the summer.  Seemed
like a great opportunity to me.
