Farmers Market
“This is one of the best ideas this city has ever done.” And with those strong words, Mayor Mike Rawlings picked up a red-tipped shovel and helped break ground on the new-and-improved Dallas Farmers Market, which officially began its $65-million makeover just nine months after a private group took the keys from Dallas City Hall. Mayor Mike Rawlings introduced the new market with some very high expecations. The redevelopment will consist of four new restaurants, a grocery store that will serve the southeast portion of downtown Dallas, approximately 300 more apartments and lofts, and a dazzling new Farmer’s Market. It will be a showplace for Dallas.
