Congratulations to Southern Village businesses Market Street Books and Harrington Bank. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce has awarded Market Street Books the 2008 Small Business of the Year and Harrington Bank the 2008 Large Business of the Year.
Market Street Southern Village has both indoor and outdoor venues available for rental for a variety of events. The Village Green is a lovely outdoor green space with a brand new stage, and is large enough to comfortably accommodate hundreds of people. The Green is well suited to concerts, art fairs, large get-togethers, rallies, etc.
Also available is the lobby of the 410 Market Street building-a smaller, tastefully appointed indoor space, which is ideal for art exhibits, small receptions or other intimate events.
Please contact Beverly Carr at bcarr@montgomerydevelopment.com for any inquiries regarding these spaces.
