West Side Market vendors are furious. They said their one and only working elevator is broken, and it's making business nearly impossible in what they said are already challenging conditions.
“For the love of God, fix our elevators,” said Renee Williams, Owner of Rita’s.“They're very important for everybody to run their business,” said Jason Scott, produce stand owner. “Our small businesses taking a hit every day because of us this.”
For years, vendors said they have been begging for needed repairs but say their needs have fallen on deaf ears. Keep in mind, the City of Cleveland is the landlord. Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb responded to the tweet asking Cleveland City Council to pass his $15 million American Rescue Plan Act Proposal to fund basic repairs at the market.
"As the owners of this property it is our responsibility to make much needed investments to keep the market running and to ensure that this landmark and its businesses are set up for success for generations to come.” City of Cleveland “We want to know how the future of a whole market is going to go; I mean the future is pretty sad,” Scott added. “This is our livelihood. This is how we make our money every day.
