In two evening sessions this week, about 50 people gathered at the Matt Urban Center, just down the street from the Broadway Market, to discuss the future of the building, the businesses and the community around the Market. Invitation posted here and working notes posted here. One attendee, close to the Market, observed: “More participation and input from Broadway Market tenants than I can remember in the last decade.” A majority of tenants, and many members of the new Market Task Force group, attended the meeting. A good (re)start.
Starting with a clean slate, a big open wall, in the first hour or so, the group posted about 20 major issues and opportunities related to the future of the Market. They made some combinations and organized them into a two-evening, four-round, working agenda. Then they broke out into small working groups to address the first round of issues.
Thank you to all involved in this endeavor.
