New international market opens this weekend in SLC, helping to launch big plans for Utah State Fairpark
If it's successful, the market could also help to kick start some big changes for the fairgrounds.
"Food from all the countries represented on the west side, crafts, artisans are going to be present and hopefully just a really great time getting to know our neighbors and bringing the city in to see just how wonderful the west-side is," Salt Lake City Council member Victoria Petro-Eschler told FOX 13 News on Monday."It gives those who are emerging the chance to find their voice. It’s a proof of concept thing," Council member Petro-Eschler said.
The international market is a part of a much larger plan to transform the fairgrounds into a year-round destination. Development around the fairgrounds has led to new ideas to lure people to the property. At a recent presentation to the Utah State Legislature's Natural Resources Interim Committee, Mullenax discussed a master plan for the fairgrounds that includes a new skate park, a permanent Ferris wheel, a mixed-use development across the street and eventually a hotel on the property.
