As an independent community market, we understand that some of the concerns regarding parking are valid along with the traffic at the light. Trust us, we see them too unfortunately we do not control the roads or how they are setup.
When we launched the Kingston Farmers Market, we had to work within the resources and property available to us. Expanding parking, purchasing additional land, and making major infrastructure improvements require significant investment, and before taking those next steps, we needed to see if the community would support and benefit from the market. We will call this “proof of concept”
This year alone, tens of thousands of dollars have been invested into improving our downtown area. The goal has never been just to host a weekly market. The vision is much bigger: revitalizing our community, supporting local businesses, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, and bringing life back to buildings that have sat vacant and slowly fallen into disrepair.
The market is only the beginning. There are many more ideas, projects, and improvements planned for our little downtown as we work to bring it back to what so many of us remember and love. We believe Kingston can once again become a destination that our residents are proud of and visitors enjoy spending time in.
We are also hopeful that in the coming months we will be able to share additional positive improvements coming to Main Street and the community, projects and opportunities that we believe will help launch Kingston into its next chapter of rebuilding.
We have seen what can happen when a community comes together around a shared vision. The market is helping show what is possible, but long-term success will require community support, local business participation, and property owners willing to invest in the future of Kingston.
This is not an overnight project. It's a long-term commitment to rebuilding, growing, and creating a downtown that future generations can enjoy. We appreciate everyone's support, feedback, and patience as we continue taking those first steps together. We see you, we hear you and we are with you!
