The early springlike weather means an especially bountiful variety of goods will be ready for the start of the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market, which, on Tuesdays, could be held in a new location.

Market organizers are hoping to move their Tuesday market this spring to the plaza next to the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. The Tuesday market, which operates from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., has been held for years at 842 New Hampshire St., in the parking lot closest to Rhode Island Street.

“It would be good to move to a new location that’s more visible to people, in a more central hangout spot,” said Olivia Taylor-Puckett, coordinator of the farmers’ market. “The library is already a hub.”

Before the move can be finalized, it must get approval from the Lawrence City Commission. The city owns the area between the library and the Vermont Street parking garage.

The topic has been tentatively scheduled for the commission meeting on March 22.

“Hopefully they’ll green-light it,” said Amanda Cook, president of the farmers’ market board.

The Saturday market starts for the season on April 9, and the Tuesday market starts May 3.

Part of what went into the decision to move is the ongoing construction along New Hampshire Street surrounding the farmers’ market site, Cook said. There are two under-construction apartment projects in that block, one at Eighth and New Hampshire and one at Ninth and New Hampshire.

For the Saturday market, contractors have agreed to remove a boundary fence to open up the space for more vendors, Karen Pendleton, of Pendleton’s Country Market, has said.

“Between construction on those ends, it made more sense for us to find a different place on Tuesdays,” Cook said. “We’ve always contemplated where the best location for a weekday market is, and we’ve been in a number of spots over the lifetime of the market. We’re going to try this, and hopefully this will work really well for everybody.”

The availability of parking is better than in the old spot, Cook said. Organizers are also hoping the move will attract a new demographic of market-goers.

The proximity to the pool and library could open up the possibility for the market to hold children’s events sometime in the future, Taylor-Puckett said.

“It will hopefully create a little bit of a different customer base, potentially,” Cook said. “And for the wonderful clients that have been coming for years on Tuesdays, I don’t think it will be too much of a shift. Honestly, this is going to be an exciting new change.”

The Saturday farmers’ market runs from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. until Aug. 27, and then from 8 a.m. to noon from Sept. 3 to Nov. 19. The Tuesday evening market will end Oct. 25.
