Transcription

1 Niagara Falls Cultural Hub + Farmers Market Visioning Study Public Meeting #1 October

2 STUDY AREA October

3 SCOPE OF OUR WORK The Cultural Hub and Farmers Market Needs Assessment and Concept Plan will consult with the local cultural and farmer s market community to determine the needs and direction of such a facility that will become a centre of cultural activity in the community by creating shared spaces where the community can come together and create. The space will be of mixed use and include the capacity to house the Farmers Market on designated market days. The plan will provide direction to the City of Niagara Falls in determining how the space could be designed. This plan will identify what is required by local cultural groups, examine current inventory of facilities and suggest best use of a new facility to meet those needs. October
