Broad Street Market temporary tent
Harrisburg Broad Street Market patrons will soon be able to visit some of their favorite brick-building vendors who were displaced by the July fire.
The city just announced that vendors can begin moving equipment into the temporary tent market structure that was constructed just across the street from the market.
For months, the opening of the structure has been delayed, due to challenges securing contractors. However, city Communications Director Matt Maisel said that vendors may begin moving in and preparing for an opening by the end of April or early May.
According to Dave Baker, director of facilities, vendors are mainly beginning to move in sinks, so that crews with Harrisburg-area-based McClure Company, which donated services to the city, can finish plumbing work.
The rest of the interior work—electric and carpentry—will be completed in the coming weeks, while vendors move in and the market prepares to open.
