Farmers Market North, located at the Bradley County Recreational Park on Urbane Road, has been approved for a sewer connection by the Cleveland City Council.CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Working restroom facilities are closer to becoming a reality for Farmers Market North.
The Cleveland City Council recently voted 6-1 to approve a sewer connection to the market pavilion and waive the requirement for annexation by the city, in accordance with a proposal made as a “measure of goodwill” by Councilman Richard Banks.
Banks’ measure was made in response to a letter from Bradley County Commission Chairman Louie Alford, who asked the city to reconsider a recent denial to provide a wastewater hookup to Farmers Market North, which is located at the Bradley County Recreational Park on Urbane Road.
“These restroom facilities have been completely constructed and are ready for the use and benefit of the public, and absent your reconsideration of this matter, will sit unused and useless to the public,” said Alford, who described the request as “unique” in light of its circumstances.
On July 9, 2013, the city issued a permit granting a sewer connection for the market’s restroom facilities, which were subsequently built, according to the letter.
