The Boston Public Market will not be a fancy place. The long-planned center for Massachusetts farmers and food makers will feature concrete floors and simple stalls, no wine bars serving oysters and champagne.
Organizers say the market is designed to be devoid of pretention and full of fresh food. And by next summer, it will finally be open to shoppers.
Construction of the 28,000-square-foot market will formally begin Thursday, kicking off a nine-month renovation of a state-owned building along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. The market will be open year-round and include up to 50 vendors as well as a bakery and demonstration kitchen.
