Rebuilding Harrisburg's Historic Broad Street Market After Devastating Fire

The Broad Street Market in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which was severely damaged by a fire caused by an electrical issue, will be rebuilt, according to Harrisburg Mayor Wanda Williams. Efforts are being made to support the affected vendors and the community that relies on the market, with assistance from Pennsylvania's emergency management and agriculture agencies. The market, with roots dating back to the 1800s, is an important source of fresh produce for the community. No timeline has been set for the rebuilding process, but there are plans to provide a similar shopping experience in the area to help mitigate the closure of the damaged building.
