Eastern Market Partnership is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in Detroit, Michigan, focused on strengthening the Eastern Market district. It aims to improve the operations of the public market and to develop business opportunities for specialty food retailers, food wholesalers, restaurants, distributors, and processors. The organization also pursues a broader placemaking strategy to create a mixed-use neighborhood that blends residential forms to enhance the local business climate and enliven streets and public spaces. Recent developments include a collaboration with the Detroit Housing Commission to place community fridges in public housing properties. Supported by Michigan Community Capital, EMP and its subsidiary Eastern Market Development Corporation are renovating Shed 7 to establish a 43,000-square-foot cold chain- and FSMA-compliant space. In 2023, the market was recognized as the No. 1 public market on USA Today\'s 10Best list.
