(KAIR)--As the City of Atchison seeks bonds to aid in the enhancement of the downtown Farmers' Market, customers of the Farmer's Market are being asked to provide input.

That comes in a message posted on the official Atchison Farmers' Market Facebook page, which says City Manager Trey Cocking needs the information to present to the Department of Commerce.

The public support for the project would allow the state agency to see the need of the proposed enhancement, which includes the construction of a permanent covering for the Farmer's Market.

The work would be funded through STAR Bonds, issued by the state.

According to the Farmers' Market Facebook post, installation of a permanent covering would provide shelter at the location, blocking both the sun and rain, while allowing the location to be used for other community events.

Comments related to the use of the Farmers' Market can be provided through the use of a questionnaire posted on the organization's Facebook page, or by sending a direct email to longviewfarm3@gmail.com. 

The deadline to provide input is Thursday.
