Empty Genesee Township lot converted into community open-air market Posted May 14, 2021 Facebook Share GENESEE TWP, MI - The parking lot of a former popular lounge hall is being revitalized for the summer into an open-air market that will provide vendors the opportunity to engage with the community. “It’s a brain child of mine that I’ve been working on for months and it’s slowly but surely coming to fruition,” said Lesley Howe, the organizer of the Genesee Open Air Market. “Turning an empty parking lot into something the community can rally behind that gives businesses an opportunity to showcase their product.”
