East Cleveland Farmers Market Preservation Society

My name is Kevin Scheuring and I have been a volunteer at the Coit Road Farmers Market for over 20 years now.

The Coit Road Farmers Market needs your help. A couple of years ago we received a $25,000 grant to design a storm water collection system to mitigate runoff from our huge parking lot and roof areas. We succeeded in receiving $250,000 to implement phase one of the plan. This not only collects runoff that currently costs us $150 a month runoff fees but it also collects water that will be used on the farm and also improves the appearance of the fence line and parking along Woodworth Road. The challenge came when we began the search for a contractor to address the portion of the parking lot that will drain to the permeable pavers. That part of the lot, that is our responsibility, needs more work that previously predicted. So in order for this plan to be completed on time by the end of November of this year we need to come up with an additional $25,000 immediately to complete these repairs so the project can proceed and the grant money along with the years of work leading up to receiving that money won't be lost. Please help!
