Broad Street Market Alliance meeting on Wednesday at the Historic Harrisburg Association
The Broad Street Market Alliance has a handful of new members, as well as a new food vendor slated to join the stone building.
The board, at a Wednesday meeting, approved five new board members to fill as many vacant seats.
The new members are as follows:
- Josh Heilman, a former Broad Street Market manager
- Jamal Jones, manager of regional initiatives for the Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC
- LaTasha Williams, newly elected Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas judge
- Douglas Rickards
- Julia Mallory, artist and owner of Ten Oh! Six Gallery
Additionally, Tito Tep, owner of Tep’s Fresh Seafood in the market, was appointed as the vendor representative for the board’s executive committee. Tep previously served as a vendor-appointed rep.
Also on Wednesday, the board approved a new vendor, Damion’s Fried Chicken, to fill a currently empty stall in the market’s stone building. The stand was previously occupied by Tri Asian Taste, which moved to a larger vacant stall in the center of the stone building.
According to Tep, who said that the vendors reviewed applicants and recommended Damion’s Fried Chicken, the vendor is a locally-owned startup, “mom and pop” run business.
Jesse Ebersole, a vendor representative, said that customers have often expressed a desire to have fried chicken in the market, which helped inform his decision to choose Damion’s.
