Eastern Market reinventing itself with more than food
The Detroit News reports: “A $3.9 million upgrade has begun of Eastern Market’s Shed 5, which is the heart of the market’s plant and flower business. The upgrades will include a commercial-grade kitchen aimed at upstart local food producers.
“Among the entrants in the farmer’s market area are a self-described hacker space, a letterpress storefront and an art gallery. Plans are under way to build a community kitchen aimed at small-scale food entrepreneurs, and construction of a 40,000-square-foot fish farm inside a former city sewage facility may begin soon.”
