Ground broken for farmers market

Thursday, August 28, 2008

COLUMBIA — South Carolina agriculture officials say the new State Farmers Market should be finished by the time the tomatoes and peaches ripen in late spring 2010.

Ground was broken on the new market Wednesday morning. The 174-acre site is off U.S. 321 in Lexington County about two miles from the end of Interstate 77.

Agriculture officials also had a groundbreaking for a new State Farmers Market in Richland County in 2006, but the deal fell through.
