The city of Grandview is moving forward with a $2.1 million Main Street Marketplace project that will transform an empty lot into a year-round community gathering space.

The project will convert a vacant lot at 814 Main St. that the city has been maintaining for years.

"We've been cutting the grass for decades," said Grandview Mayor Leonard Jones. "This is ready to go, and we are grateful for it."

The marketplace will span a full block from Main Street to Goode Street, featuring a design that maximizes natural light and vendor accessibility.

"Alternating single roof slopes that create high elevation on one side of the building, allowing all-natural light to come in through the garage," explained Jim Clay, city architect for Grandview.
