The Spark Weekly 7.21.2024: Krabbe Disease and Journalist Roundtable

It's been a little after a year since the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg caught on fire. Half of the building was destroyed and the other half sustained huge damage.  On the half of the building that was destroyed, the roof was gone and only the walls remained standing. Recently, a big tent was added to help vendors, as the Broad Street Market Alliance works to rebuild the Broad Street Market. Eric Hagarty is the Chair of the Board of Directors for the Broad Street Market Alliance. Hagarty joined The Spark to speak with host Asia Tabb on the podcast for recovery efforts.
