	East Warren Avenue continues to undergo transformation as the community partners break ground for the new Public Market By Wendell Bryant tellusdetroit.com DETROIT - Mayor Duggan, along with city officials and community partners, participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the East Warren Public Market. The 10,000 sq. ft. public market is designed to foster community engagement and support business development in the East Warren community. The project, which costs $5.5 million, is being led by the East Warren Development Corporation and is made possible through investments from the Strategic Neighborhood Fund, the Gilbert Family Foundation, and the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation. The East Warren Public Market will serve as a central location for local vendors and small business owners to network and sell their products throughout the year. The 10,000-square-foot building will include a small grocery market, retail spaces for vendors and budding entrepreneurs, a community gathering space, and a farmer’s market. Additionally, it will house the offices of the East Warren Development Corporation, an organization dedicated to the revitalization and progress of the E. Warren Corridor. This new business venture represents another significant investment in the East Warren Ave corridor, one of the city’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF) neighborhoods. It is one of several milestones recently celebrated by the community, including the completion of an $8.8 million streetscape, the opening of multiple Motor City Match businesses, and progress on an 18-unit affordable housing development.
