Move over Seattle and your Pike Place Market, there could soon be some new competition. San Diego is on the verge of having its very own Public Market, to be set up on 92,000 square feet of property in Barrio Logan. Two of the women behind the project are Catt White and Dale Steele. Steele has been promoting development for the San Diego Public Market for more than a decade. White develops and manages farmers’ markets with her team at SD Weekly Markets. It’s been their dream to see a Public Market in San Diego.

They took a leap of faith leasing the 92,000 square foot property before 100 percent funding was secured and taken their fundraising effort online where they are over halfway to their goal of $92,244.
We’ll hear about what this public market will look like and who it will serve, plus the two co-founders will tell us about the transformation underway and when we can expect to see vendors filling inside this indoor open market!
