Presentation: The long awaited revitalization of the 17th Street Market, Shockoe Bottom
Main Street Station is the CROWN JEWEL of the Revitalization of Shockoe Bottom. It is the People’s Choice for 2018 for grand event space and in the near future will be home to our first downtown indoor urban market. The sister project to Main Street Station is the revitalization of her neighbor, the 17th Street Market which will open in November for the Downtown Grand Illumination. The design of the 17th Street Market evolved through many community engagement meetings and the design was influenced by places around the world but heavily by the one of the most famous market streets in Europe: La Rambla in Barcelona.
These two projects collectively will provide the downtown with an indoor market and an outdoor market along our beloved cobblestones with the Virginia Capital Trail connector passing through it under 22 new oak trees lined with outdoor dining.
The revitalization of the 17th Street Market has been in discussions since 1999 and in motion since the mid 2000’s. It has been a long time coming and had MANY hiccups along the way. Jeannie’s presentation will include an overview of the progress, the hiccups, the hurdles and the struggles to get this project open and an overview of what’s to come.
