Ligonier Country Market may have finally found a new home for the season.

Westmoreland County Airport Authority board members on Tuesday approved drafting a lease agreement to send to market officials that would allow vendors to set up in a parking lot at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Unity.

Board Vice President Vincent J. Finoli proposed that the authority’s solicitor draft a week-to-week lease and send it to market officials for review.

“We need to get moving on that because they expect to have the first market this Saturday,” he said.

The clock is ticking down for the Ligonier Country Market to find a location to host the weekly event. Market officials have been searching for months for an appropriate location, but have been met with pushback from municipal officials in at least four locations.

They needed to look for a new location after the relationship soured earlier this year with the market’s landlord in Ligonier Township. Proposals in Ligonier Borough, at Waterford fire department in Ligonier Township and at Greensburg’s Lynch Field didn’t get support from municipal officials.

Another try on Monday night to relocate to Latrobe was met with resistance from a slim majority of council.

Ligonier Country Market is set to start Saturday and run until Sept. 26, according to its website. It typically draws between 3,000 and 5,000 visitors from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday over four months. About 130 vendors from around the area sell their crafts, produce, flowers, meats and other items.

The Ligonier Country Market had been held for the past 25 years on a 9.6-acre Loyalhanna Watershed Association property off Route 30 in Ligonier Township. Special event permits were issued in January, but a reported dispute over the lease between the market and association led to the market seeking another location.

Initially, Ligonier Borough was proposed as the new site, but that plan didn’t move forward. A proposal to move to the Waterford fire station in Ligonier Township was nixed by township supervisors last month when they rejected a request from fire officials to rezone the property for commercial use.

A special events permit filed with Greensburg was rejected last week. Latrobe council said they’d revisit the issue next week.
