During the peak <br /> summer months at the State Farmer's Market in Raleigh, we have both <br /> farmers and consumers waiting in line to get into the Market. The <br /> Buckhorn Jockey Lot and Farmer's Market would appear to be in a <br /> good location for a successful retail farmer's market. <br /> This would certainly be beneficial to the farmers and consumers <br /> in this area. We would encourage the Planning Board to take this <br /> into consideration in making its decision. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ly�y <br /> etT4L Y_ <br /> Charles B.
