The Nomar International Public Market will be an indoor-outdoor market facility located at the heart of the Nomar District at West 21st Street and Market Street. The goals of the Nomar International Public Market are:
-
To create a unique dining, shopping, and entertainment venue in Wichita while respecting the traditions, history, and cultures of the area.
-
To revitalize the Nomar District and surrounding neighborhoods by attracting regional residents and visitors to the area.
-
To provide new economic development opportunities for Hispanic/Latino, Asian, and other entrepreneurs.
In this report, ERA evaluated the project’s ability to be economically self-sustaining. This feasibility study examines consumer demand for the facility, and projects operating costs and revenues for the market under three scenarios, using the concept designs developed by Law/Kingdon for each site. The results of this study will help guide the West 21st Street CDC and the City of Wichita in the development, operations, and management of the proposed Nomar International Public Market.
