This following text was taken from an email sent by the Chicago Green City Market earlier today. An update was also posted on the GCM website. The temporary market’s planned location is right near the proposed gateway marker for the Fulton Market Innovation District, with a more permanent location to come after this market season. More details to come as needed.
