FLINT, MI -- A contractor has started demolition of the old Flint Farmers’ Market off Longway Boulevard, and Flint officials say they are in the market for a partner to redevelop the site.

The city announced plans for the Boulevard Drive property in a news release on Wednesday, Nov. 6, after the demolition, funded by Uptown Reinvestment Corporation, started.

Among the structures being torn down Wednesday was the 14,000 square-foot primary market building.

Uptown has leased the site from the city for $1 per year, under a 20-year agreement that was signed in 2009, according to the announcement from the city, which also said the group’s efforts to repurpose the property with its buildings intact were not successful.

The Flint Farmers' Market moved from the area to its current location inside a former Flint Journal printing plant at 300 E. 1st St. in downtown Flint, in 2014.

In 2021, city officials said they were in discussions to sell the old farmers' market site to the Flint Children’s Museum but that deal was never consummated.

Wednesday’s announcement says the city “envisions a vibrant and dynamic mix of uses” on the 5-acre property, potentially including multifamily housing, entertainment and retail.

Emily Doerr, director of Flint’s Community and Business Services Department, said in a message to MLive-The Flint Journal that a request for proposals will be issued to solicit the best future use of the land.

The site is zoned as a “city corridor” and the city’s master plan says such areas are envisioned to have amenities such as sidewalks, benches, pedestrian-scale lighting, and landscaping that make it easy to walk along.

“Over time, the development pattern may evolve to include multi-story, mixed-use buildings and development that abuts the street,” a description of the zoning says.

Properties with the corridor zoning can be developed for uses including grocery stores, large-format retailers, and mixed-use development like multi-family housing, above ground-floor businesses or offices.

In the months prior to moving downtown in 2014, market officials said they heard various proposals for reusing the site ranging from an aquaponics farm, a bike-powered brewery, or a space for veterans.

The city’s news release says buildings on the site have deteriorated and now are a public safety hazard. It said an engineering assessment showed “major structural problems” with buildings that were being razed on Wednesday.

Despite the worn condition of the old market, however, Flint area residents made regular pilgrimages to it for decades.

Before moving to its current location, the market had been located there for more than 70 years. Five years before it closed, the market was named the country’s “most loved” farmers’ market.

On its last day of operation, according to Flint Journal files, customers lined up at some of the market stands that didn’t move to the new location. Visitors took photos of the building and those who worked there to preserve images of the market they grew up with.

The city’s announcement said a letter of understanding between it and URC provides for the organization to pay for the demolition and to “work cooperatively to identify and preserve historical elements of the building, including the original steel support joists, for reuse on a future project.”

The Flint Farmers’ Market website says the market was first established at an open-air site in 1905 at the southeast corner of Beach and Kearsley streets.

By 1912, it had been moved across the Flint River to the west side of Smith Street, and in 1920, it moved to Harrison and Union streets, the current site of the University of Michigan-Flint’s Thompson Library.

The city said its lease with URC provided for the group to pay for insurance, repairs, maintenance, and capital improvements to the old farmers' market site.

Tim Herman, president of URC, said in a statement issued by the city that its lease of the property will terminate with the demolition of the structures on the site.

“We look forward to supporting the city of Flint in future redevelopment opportunities as they pursue a new vision for the site‘s next chapter,” Herman’s statement says.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, will return to Michigan this week to campaign.

The White House updated Harris' schedule for the week on Tuesday night. The update said that Harris will travel to Michigan from Wisconsin on Thursday following a campaign event in that state.

Then, on Friday, Harris is slated to have campaign events in Detroit and Flint before returning to Washington that day.

The White House update did not include any additional details about any events, including time or place or whether they would be open to the public. However, a website that lists Harris campaign events − www.mobilize.us − on Tuesday night included a registration link for a rally in Flint from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday.

The visit to Michigan, a hotly contested battleground state in this year's election, will be Harris' first since holding a livestreamed event with Oprah Winfrey before a small audience in metro Detroit on Sept. 19. Last week, her opponent, Republican former President Donald Trump, held events in west Michigan and in Warren. Trump's vice presidential running mate, U.S. Sen JD Vance of Ohio, was set to be in Auburn Hills and in Ottawa County in west Michigan on Wednesday.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance will travel to Michigan once again as we near Election Day, this time to Flint on Monday, Nov. 4.

Vance will speak at FIM Capitol Theatre. Doors to the event open at 11:15 a.m. and he will deliver his remarks at 1:15 p.m.

Vance will discuss the effects of high inflation and says Trump will resolve this issue if he is elected.

The Joint Economic Committee reports that Michigan has seen a 20.5% increase in inflation since January 2021, equal to the national average.

Vance also plans to discuss the potential ban on gas-powered vehicles. According to Vance, 63% of Michiganders oppose the implementation of these bans. He says that the state will bear the brunt of an EV mandate, projecting the state to lose at least 37,000 jobs.

Michigan has received plenty of political attention in recent weeks as the candidates fight for a foothold in the state as we near Election Day.

Trump spoke at Macomb Community College in Warren on Friday, Nov. 1.

Vance has made appearances in Holland, Auburn Hill and Marne all within the past month.

Kamala Harris will visit Michigan State University on Nov. 3. She will hold an on-campus rally for young voters. The event will begin at 6:30.

Tim Walz will visit Detroit on Monday as a part of his last-minute battleground states right before Election Day.
