New Market Location! 

The City Council authorized construction of a new Village parking lot at 18725 W. Hoffman Ave. last year. Construction started this spring and is nearing completion. The new 39 stall parking lot is just east of Brookfield Road (behind Sabella’s) and will feature a park like setting, with trees on three sides, and open space along the creek to the east.   Parking will be available every day other thanThursday afternoons. The new lot will not be finished for the first Farmer’s Market on June 5th, but the market will be held on adjacent property on Hoffman. The lot should be done in time for the June 12th market and for the opening ceremonies on June 19th.
