Fairmont Plans Cafe District

Chef Brian Floyd met with the Fairmont Urban Renewal Authority on Tuesday about the possibility of establishing a Cafe District for downtown. Pierpont's Culinary Arts program has for some time been looking into opening a student-operated bistro in downtown. The establishment of the Cafe District would help to collectively promote any restaurtants in Fairmont's downtown.

Pierpont has received a grant from the Charles M. & Mary D. Grant Foundation to create, brand, and market the Cafe District. The Culinary program plans to work with the City, the URA, Main Street Fairmont, the Marion County Chamber of Commerce, and the downtown restaurants to begin the work of establishing the new Cafe District.
