2016 Local Hero Awardee: Oona Coy and Ben James

In 2008, after scouting the town for months by bicycle for the ideal location, Ben James and Oona Coy settled on the plaza nestled between Thornes Marketplace and the Northampton parking garage as the home of the brand new Tuesday Market. Today, the market is a thriving fixture of the local food scene, bringing cultural vibrancy and fresh, healthy food to the community.
