KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A new wedding and event center is coming to downtown Kalamazoo in the very near future.
The City of Kalamazoo was recently awarded a $25,000 grant earlier from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Match on Main program that will be used by Haymarket Event Center, LLC., according to a news release from Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office.
The grant itself will be used for the rehabilitation of a historic building in downtown Kalamazoo which is located at 251 East Michigan Avenue.
The rehabilitation will result in a new event and wedding space said media and communications manager with the M-E-D-C and Travel Michigan Otie McKinely.
Kalamazoo was one of 35 recipients to receive Match on Main grants to support local businesses in December.
The grants, totaling more than $800,000 are each aimed at supporting small, local businesses to create resiliency and strengthen downtowns across Michigan.
The space itself is scheduled to open in the summer of 2023.
