FFOF Plans Permanent Home for Market
ONEONTA—The Future for Oneonta Foundation Inc. has secured an option to acquire 33 Dietz Street, paving the way for an all-weather, multi-purpose community space that will serve as a permanent home for the Oneonta Farmers Market and more. This bold initiative is set to bring new energy, economic growth and year-round vibrancy to the heart of Oneonta, officials said in a press release.
The property is currently home to Big Al’s BBQ, which will continue its operation at the location for the foreseeable future. It is owned by local business leaders Jaclyn and Adrian Origoni of the Latte Lounge. According to the press release, the property will undergo a complete transformation. The vision includes demolishing the existing structure to make way for a 4,000-square-foot, clear-span, barn-style market space, topped with an additional 2,000 square feet of office space. Once completed, this new hub will provide a gathering place for farmers, artisans and the community, rain or shine.
