CHESTER - The Chester Farmers Market is considering new sites for the 2003 season, including the Main Street site in Deep River where the Deep River Inn once stood. The seasonal market is seeking an alternate to the town parking lot on Maple Street where it has operated for the past four seasons.
Market managers had asked the Chester Board of Selectmen for permission to use a town parking lot on Water Street where a former bank branch has been converted into a seasonal visitors center. The selectmen decided in May that such a move would not be possible until a sidewalk is built connecting the Water Street parcel to Main Street. The discussion of the market request last spring also brought to the surface continuing complaints from some merchants in Chester's downtown village that the seasonal market generates unfair competition to year-round businesses.
