Thoughts of the former Flint Farmers Market located at 420 E. Boulevard invoke fond memories of shopping for produce, meeting up with friends and enjoying tasty treats for Flint residents. Since the market moved to its new location on East First Street, the Boulevard building has been vacant. Communities First, Inc. is exploring the idea of transforming the space into the Flint Artist Market. The site would feature opportunities for entrepreneurs to display, sale and perhaps even create pieces in the building. As our name suggests, we are interested in having the community voice incorporated into our development work. To facilitate community input, Communities First, Inc. invites vendors, artists, crafters, kids, residents and other interested parties to join us on Tuesday, July 12 from 5:30pm until 7:30pm for a community input session. The session will be held at the former Flint Farmers Market and refreshments will be provided. For those that are not able to make the session, a survey will is available for you to provide feedback: http://goo.gl/forms/lwQSV4NmeBXpEjha2.
We look forward to hearing what you would like to see at the Flint Artists Market.
