Winter Market Renovation Project Begins
Floor Breaking Ceremony This Friday
The long-anticipated Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market renovation project is about to begin! This Friday, January 18, the Town is hosting a “Floor Breaking” ceremony to launch Phase 1 of the project, which will involve renovating a Town-owned barn to be the permanent home of the Brighton Winter Farmers’ Market. Please join Supervisor Moehle, Town Board members, and other dignitaries at 9 AM at the Winter Market barn on Westfall Road, when they will break up the barn’s old floor to start the project. Please park in the main Buckland Park parking lot (1341 Westfall Road) and ride the shuttle to the ceremony. The shuttle begins at 8:30 AM at the park concession building. Please dress for warmth!
