The Ann Arbor Public Market Advisory Commission held a meeting on May 21, 2026, focusing on various market-related updates and upcoming events. Key procurement-related discussions included the near-final selection of a consultant through an RFP process for community engagement and market improvement projects, with interviews scheduled and a decision expected soon. The commission also discussed facility repairs, including completed roof reinforcement and plans to remove portable toilets due to vandalism, which will free up stall space.
