Title, Order
Authorizing a Lease Agreement with the Bangor Farmers' Market Association for the Winter Market to be held
at the Upper Abbott Square Parking Lot
This Order authorizes a lease for space in the Upper Abbott Square Parking Lot with the Bangor
Farmers' Market Association for their winter market.
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the Bangor Farmers Market Association would prefer to hold their
upcoming winter market outside and have requested the use of Upper Abbott Square for that
purpose. The winter market takes place from 11:00AM to 2:00PM ten (10) times on the first and
third Sundays from December through April. The Bangor Farmers' Market Association feels that the
Abbott Square location would be the best option for this winter as it is familiar, outdoors, and allows
for adequate social distancing that their members and patrons desire.
Public Works, Legal, Economic Development, and Republic Parking have discussed this option and
have no objections to the use of Upper Abbott Square for the winter market. Public Works will
continue to plow and salt the parking area. If there is a snow event anticipated or a winter parking
ban during a scheduled market, the Bangor Farmers Market Association will cancel the event. There
will be a $200 base fee for the use, and the Bangor Farmers' Market Association will be billed for any
extra costs made necessary by their market.
