Silo city vendor fair12/31/2023 ![]() “It has brought people in here on the weekends … about 10 to 15 more customers and they're buying things, that’s good for us.”Ĭurrent mall maintenance staff work on Saturdays, and are available to assist vendors with set-up, Tabelski said. “I’ve gotten more traffic in the store because of it,” he said. Jackson has noted an uptick of customers during these Saturday mornings, he said. ![]() So just multiple different ways to spruce up City Centre."Īside from new ideas for mall facelifts, city officials have been trying out a mall market on select Saturdays. They are encouraged by the gradual increase of vendors and foot traffic. "The existing mall maintenance crew has been taking down ceiling tiles, and we're looking to see if we can repaint those ceilings similar to what we did here at City Hall. But we want to put in some other alternates in the project such as flooring and painting," she said. "Right now, we believe that the entire million dollars will be dedicated just to redoing the silos at this point with construction costs. The city has $1 million of grant money set aside for the project. “Hunt Engineers has been working on this for the last six months.”Īs soon as Hunt finalizes the design and related documents, the project will be put out for bid, she said. "Basically, you're seeing a design still with a vestibule, but a very welcoming entrance into the space,” City Manager Rachael Tabelski said during City Council’s meeting this week. Silos were originally built as separate areas from the mall, and they have collected a lot of water spots and damage over the years from a poorly designed roof. There was also some relief that there would be no more silo-style entrances, he said. It’s a fairly decent design of entryways to make the place look a little better.” “The one near Sunny’s is a little fancier. “They thought it looked pretty good,” he said. ![]() One design builds on the red brick exterior with doors and windows to let in the sunshine another one leads into a glass vestibule and has a large hanging basket of flowers nearby a third one features multiple hanging flower baskets with a sloping structure above it, resembling a slight roller coaster effect and yet another entrance goes a bit wild with low maintenance greenery, and a bench.Ĭraig Jackson of Batavia Stagecoach Florist spoke on behalf of fellow merchants. The designs vary from one another at each of the four locations - including near the former Sunny’s, Hawley Insurance, and Le Beau Salon. Four designs for entryways into Batavia City Centre were unveiled this week to mall merchants and City Council members. ![]()
