About the Market

According to a study by Project for Public Spaces (PPS), public markets are proven to bring together diverse people; create active public space; shape growth and minimize sprawl; promote public health; provide economic opportunity; and renew downtowns and neighborhoods.  3rd & Spring seeks to create a space that evokes a strong sense of community and promotes the health, happiness, and well-being of all those who experience the market.  Imagine a place that encourages healthy eating, celebrates the community's diversity, and provides entrepreneurial opportunities for those who produce and sell the food we consume.  We invite you to come experience the market for yourself.
