Document Description
AIM, in partnership with Marin County, is proposing to develop a portion of the Marin Civic Center Campus as a permanent location for the Marin Farmers Market and a new Center for Food and Agriculture. The Project location is the “Christmas Tree Lot,” a currently undeveloped portion of the Civic Center Campus located at the intersection of Peter Behr Drive and Civic Center Drive. The Project would develop permanent facilities for AIM, including a covered market stall area, a visitor center, a small office building, a commercial kitchen, an educational building, restrooms, a food-storage container, and a walk-in refrigerator. The Project includes relocating the current Marin Farmers Market, which operates on Thursday and Sunday at parking lots within the Civic Center Campus, to the new location, and adding a third weekly market. When not in use, the market stall area would serve as a parking lot.
