(Portland, OR) -- A location is now selected for the much anticipated James Beard Public Market. The nonprofit that is working to establish the culinary retail space has announced that it will span 38-thousand square feet across two buildings along Southwest Sixth Avenue, near Southwest Alder Street. The market will give Portland residents a place to shop for fresh local foods year-round. Project planners hope to have the operation partially up and running by late next year, with a full opening to happen the following year.
