🥦🛍 Market Precinct Task Force
Sponsor: Ward, on behalf of the Market Precinct Task Force
Endorse in principle the concept of a Barrie Bayside Market Area centred around the conversion of the existing transit terminal on Maple Avenue to a year-round market, plus the construction of a new building of at least 10,000 square feet nearby to house the Barrie Farmers Market. (Taking into consideration the design recommendations.)
Hire a contractor or consultant with a budget of $100,000 (funded from the Reinvestment Reserve) to:
prepare a plan for the conversion of the transit terminal into a permanent market, and the construction of a new building to house the Barrie Farmers Market
apply grant & sponsorship opportunities to cover the capital costs
prepare a business case for the market
prepare a precinct plan, including programming strategy, market operations, detailed designs, and signage
prepare a streetscape master plan, including possible recommendations for amendments to the Official Plan, Zoning Bylaw, and Community Improvement Plan
undertake a marketing and recruitment strategy
prepare a pop-up shop program
collaborate with local developers
secure letters of intent for vendors
create a public art policy subcommittee or work with the existing Barrie Public Art Committee
Include the capital costs of building the market in the City's capital budgets, starting 2023
Consider acquiring lands in the immediate area of the market district, if it's determined that additional property is needed
Have staff in Development Services and the Economic and Creative Development Departments prepare a Staff Memo with the intended timelines and resource requests associated with the recommendations by the end of March, 2022
