It would appear the massive ground floor space is being used to store components for the construction of other parts. Logistically it probably makes things cheaper and easier.

It's not the best reason, but it is a reason.

Many food coolers (open as of March 10).

That may be because of the farmers marking going in, in a few weeks.

Looks like a cafeteria setup on the ground floor.

Is that not for the Farmer's market?

It's for the Farmers' Market that will open there April 4th

Do the fridges, etc. just stay there all week? Or can the floor be repurposed for use on Sundays (or other weekdays/evenings) as something else?

I love that the front of the building is already covered in pane-long streaks of pigeon shit.

I assume that just like the old North Market a nd the tent, they will wheel them off the floor to storage so they can use space other days.

The city rather spend it on delays, incompetent firms and managers than actual tangible output.

Shockingly.....

The new tables are not electric, though they are zero-emission, I think.....

They don't appear to be compliant with the remote work requirements in the change order though........I don't see any setup for virtual farmers facetiming market goers.......

...I think they still assume the farmers will bring their produce in on horse and cart.

We badly need a DOGE in the city, preferably run by a non-billionaire who doesn't do "Roman salutes"

...I don't think firing thousands of city workers would have ever have gotten this thing built quicker, vetted contractors better and/or got it open faster. In fact, very much the opposite, I'm afraid.
