The Mount Clemens City Commission approved a lease on April 6 to relocate the Mount Clemens Farmers Market to the Roscott Lot in downtown Mount Clemens for the 2026 season.
City staff said the lease runs Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2026 with automatic annual renewals unless amended or terminated, and that no rental fee will be charged. To support operations, the city and the Downtown Development Authority will remove two curbs for accessibility, provide two portable restrooms, two handwashing stations, a storage facility and on-site electricity.
Commissioners expressed enthusiasm about the move and said the market will strengthen synergy between downtown businesses and vendors. Staff noted the market will operate on Saturdays and the city will retain weekday use of the site. The agreement includes standard maintenance, insurance and operations provisions drafted by the city attorney.
Commissioners approved the lease by roll call. Staff and the DDA will continue coordinating site preparations for the upcoming season and vendor operations.
