Briefs | Sao Domingo’s market revamp

Starting next Tuesday, the IACM will resume the renovation projects of vendor spots on the ground floor of Sao Domingo’s market Building B. During the renovation period, the market off Senado Square will operate as usual, with some vendors moving to Building A to continue doing businesses. Renovation works will last 60 days and focus mainly on updating the market layout, as well as optimizing the operating environment. After the project’s completion, the fish shops previously located in the first basement will be relocated to the ground floor of Building B. According to the IACM, the majority of the vendors have been willing to cooperate with the department, and hope that the project can be carried out as quickly as possible.
