IT TAKES A "VILLAGE"

Five years in the making, since Fulton City Manager Mike Gunn first presented the idea of an artisan village in the downtown area of Fulton, through months of numerous Tourism Commission discussions and attention to requirements for leasing the prefabricated buildings, all the way to the involvement now of Community Ventures, buildings have now been stationed at the site, adjacent to Lake Street and the Fulton Farmers Market, which will one day house specialty shops and entrepreneurial endeavors. Buildings were placed Monday, with plans for landscaping and customized storefronts. (Photos by Benita Fuzzell.)
