The Genesee Open Air Market was created in an effort to clean up a vacant and neglected space, bring in new business, and spark creativity and community engagement. The market will occur every Saturday, where good weather allows, and will feature local entrepreneurs, businesses, farmers, etc. The space will provide vendors the opportunity to sell their wares. Vendors will be selected with a focus on quality products that have a potential to become a stand alone business.
Since Genesee does not have a traditional downtown, and is home to a major thoroughfare, there is no central place for community gatherings or events.
The lot will serve as a focal point in the community, designed to accommodate such gatherings and events.  With things like Friday Family Fun nights, car shows, and more, the potential opportunities are endless.
