Market Street reopens
On Tuesday morning, five days after the ceremony celebrating the pending reopening of Market Street to motor vehicles, the barricades were finally down and traffic was again flowing after a 15-month shutdown for renovations. - G. Chambers Williams III
Clinton celebrated the rehabilitation of Market Street and its impending re-opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Friday morning, after a shutdown lasting nearly a year-and-a-half. Although the event was billed as the official re-opening of the city’s main downtown commercial street, the actual removal of barricades and allowing of traffic to resume was delayed until Tuesday morning, City Manager Roger Houck. Those barricades, which were gone by Tuesday morning, were still in place on Monday as workers in a bucket truck completed installation and wiring of the new downtown clock. The clock stands on the south side of Market Street near the entrance to the new Pearl Alley pedestrian walkway that links Market to Commerce Street. “Two weeks from today the [downtown] project should be completed,” Houck said. “We still need to put up the speakers on the lights poles to play holiday music, and there is still one crosswalk on Main Street to finish, along with repaving of Main.

Historic Downtown Clinton merchants will hold their second of three 2026 summer “Market Night” events from 5-8 p.m. this coming Saturday (July 11). The remaining Market Night is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 8, also from 5-8 p.m. Conducted by the merchants’ group, the Market Night events will include street vendors set up along Market Street, along with food trucks and trailers. The merchants will stay open late to accommodate the crowds, which could be rather large this year as Market Street comes back to life after a shutdown for major sidewalk reconstruction and other improvements over the past year-and-a-half.

The moratorium was approved unanimously during the council’s June 22 meeting. Council member Wendy Maness made the motion, and Vice Mayor Larry Gann seconded it. Members David Queener and Brian Hatmaker were absent. City Manager Roger Houck said staff members have been discussing data center regulations and will continue working with the city’s Planning Commission on the issue. Under Clinton’s current zoning ordinance, Houck said, data centers could locate only in industrial zones.
