The city of Duluth in GA launched a new project called The Market at Duluth, in June of 2013, in an effort to draw more business to the community. In addition, the city has created a way for local vendors to display and sell some unique items while providing an avenue for potential buyers to come away with rare finds and exclusive treasures.
Evan Howell an early pioneer first saw the vision for growth in the area in 1833. He wanted, “To promote the public good by affording additional facilities to travelers, passengers, and others.” by constructing a road across his land. This single act set the stage for the Duluth that we see today. The same desire for the area continues. The only difference is that in this modern day, the city of Duluth is trying to promote growth by affording additional opportunities to the residence of the neighborhood and to the local businesses that serve them by introducing the Market.
Janice Yarbrough, the downtown coordinator for the Market at Duluth is excited about the project and has high expectations for its future once it begins to gain popularity. Any vendor interested in participating in the event should contact Yarbrough by visiting the web site at www.duluthga.net.
