CLEVELAND, Tenn. — The Bradley County Commission agreed Monday to use a $40,000 federal grant to build a farmers market on county property on Urbane Road.
The vote came after debate on any effect the new market might have on the county’s traditional farmers market on Peerless Road.
“This would just be another location. It has nothing to do with Peerless Road,” said Commissioner Jim Smith, chairman of the Commission’s Building and Land Committee.
Commission Chairman Louie Alford, who secured the U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, agreed.
The Urbane Road market would have a covered shed with restrooms and lights. The Peerless Road market is only an open-air market in the parking lot.
