Longtime Spokane Conservation District leader ushers in year-round farmers market
SPOKANE — Vicki Carter walked with purpose, and excitement, through construction at the Scale House Market on a spring morning.
She checks on the building’s progress multiple times a day, she said.
The longtime Spokane Conservation District director paused several times to chat warmly with construction crew members and mural painters.
Warmth and kindness are hallmarks of Carter’s style of leadership. “My two favorite people in the world are veterans and farmers,” Carter said.
“This is the job where I got to be right in the center of all of it. And really be a catalyst for change in a lot of those programs and projects.”
The year-round farmers market will have its grand opening May 31. The $4.4 million building will house 65 vendors. The district received more than 150 applications.
