Columbia Market House will be the scene of much activity during Memorial Day weekend when it reopens its doors to the public.
The building at 15 S. Third St. in the borough closed in December 2017 to undergo $3.5 million in construction and renovation paid for with a combination of state and local funds.
Now, after what seemed like an eternity, the wait is over and a much-anticipated grand opening for the 152-year-old market house will be held Saturday. Free parking is available in the lot next to market building.
âThis market house has a rich history and we are extremely excited to bring it back to its glory, so we have planned an entire weekend of events to celebrate the reopening,â said Kelsey Miller, healthy communities manager at CHI St. Joseph Childrenâs Health, which manages the market. âAnd each event is geared to highlight a different aspect of the market.â
