20 UCW APRIL 2-8, 2014 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM CUMBERLAND Farmers Market Survey Results Available The results of the farmers market feasibility study are available online after consultants hired by Cumberland County Cooperative Extension presented their findings March 19. Cooperative Extension used grant funding from the N.C. Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund to hire The Earthwise Company to research and assess the best options for locating, re-organizing, managing, marketing, and operating a larger, more responsive farmers market in the county. The consultants gathered community input through public meetings, stakeholder interviews and an online survey. The most suitable location, the consultants said, is in the downtown area, near the current market location at the Transportation Museum and a short distance from Hay Street. They suggested four downtown area sites, with the ground floor of the Franklin Street Parking Deck topping the list. The survey is online at http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/wp-content/ uploads/2014/03/CCFM_final_report.pdf. For more information, call Cooperative Extension at 321-6860. www.co.cumberland.nc.us Cumberland County Board of Commissioners Chairman Jeannette Council accepts the M. H.
