The District of Kitimat is looking into the feasibility of an outdoor market space in the downtown area.
While there are seasonal markets that pop-up in Kitimat’s core through the summer months, the purpose of this study is to consider the idea of a purpose-built market area that would exist year-round.
This study is funded thanks to a grant from the Rural Economic Diversification and Infrastructure Program (REDIP).
The key goals of the outdoor market are to:
- Attract more traffic to downtown Kitimat and better support downtown businesses.
- Help revitalize and enliven the downtown core.
- Enhance business entrepreneurship.
- Attract investment and enhance tourism.
