Provided

The newly opened Epicurean Mercantile Co. is finally meeting the need for an after-hours grocery across from Findlay Market.

Local developers and entrepreneurs are working to transform the area into a new Findlay Market District

Here to discuss development of the Findlay Market District, future development and challenges that come with new growth are Chef Meredith Trombly, co-owner of The Epicurean Mercantile Company; Kelly Adamson, executive director of the Over-the-Rhine Chamber of Commerce; Bobby Maly, chief operating officer of The Model Group and WCPO reporter Bob Driehaus.
