Depot Market Square: Mayor thanks community for enthusiastic support
As construction nears completion on the new Depot Market Square, I would like to thank you for your generous and enthusiastic support of this project.
Early on in the project, the City joined forces with the Depot Market Square Committee, a private group of citizens with the energy to help make this a great permanent home of the Bellingham Farmer’s Market, and the vision to include a town square as a central focal point for downtown and our emerging waterfront.
To date, the Committee has raised over $340,000, including donations from 1,200 businesses, families and individuals. With additional assistance from the State of Washington and Whatcom County, this project has been an excellent example of a successful partnership.
Again, thank you for welcoming this new public facility to our downtown. Please consider this location for meetings, fairs, fundraisers, public theatre, sales, and events of all kinds. The impact of this facility on the life and revitalization of downtown Bellingham will derive from the cumulative impact of all this lively community activity. And it will serve as a reminder of what we can achieve when we all work together.
Mayor Mark Asmundson
