CITY OF PARKVILLE GETS $455,000 INSURANCE SETTLEMENT
The City of Parkville this week said it is looking forward to moving ahead with the demolition and removal of the damaged Farmers Market structure.
The iconic Farmers Market structure in the downtown parking lot near English Landing Park was struck by two trucks last summer, which caused significant damage to the entire building.
Since that time, the city has been in negotiations with the insurance claims adjustors for both of the trucking companies. Last week, the city came to an agreement, with Parkville set to receive a total of $455,306.
On Tuesday, April 18th, the board of aldermen was set to vote on the demolition of the existing structure with a tentative start date for removal later in the week.
City officials say the next steps will be to review the options and associated costs, research grant opportunities and develop a plan for the new structure.
