(KAIR)--Another step forward for the planned construction of a pavilion at Atchison’s Farmer’s Market.

That comes as the Atchison Planning Commission gives approval to the project site plan.

According to the City of Atchison, the unanimous vote came during the Planning Commission’s February 6 meeting.

Construction on the pavilion project is expected to begin in early spring, and will likely be completed for the Farmer’s Market season opening in mid-May.

The project is primarily being funded through the State of Kansas STAR Bond Program.

The price tag of the total project is around $500,000, with the STAR Bonds to pay for around $425,000. The remainder of the funds will come through the City’s Capital Improvement Fund.

The project is being designed by Saint Joseph, Missouri-based Snyder & Associates in conjunction with the City, the Atchison Farmer’s Market, and the Atchison Art Association.
