Also - have their been any discussions about merging the two public/farmer's markets that Batavia has. I know there was a discussion about this in the past but I think it is worth mentioning again. It just seems like one larger market would make much more sense than two very small ones. I understand Batavia cannot compete with Buffalo and Rochester but sometimes it is as if we're our own worst enemy - is this something we can come together on?
