LakewoodAlive Event - June 28 - "Main Street Lakewood&q

Post by Jay Foran »

FYI and please plan to attend.

LakewoodAlive and Lakewood Community Progress Inc. (LCPI) present a Spring Speaker Series, “A 2020 Vision for Our Main Street.â€Â￾ The series is designed to educate and inform residents about the importance of the Main Street program, its success in other communities and how it will benefit the city of Lakewood.

The second and final event is “Main Street Lakewood.â€Â￾ This session will focus on the long-term vision for implementing the Main Street program in Lakewood and include time for the community to ask questions and offer suggestions.

WHEN: Wednesday, June 28 at 7:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public.

WHERE: The Wasmer Auditorium at Lakewood Hospital. Parking is free in the hospital parking garage.

SPEAKERS: David Shaw, president of LCPI; Mikelann Rensel, vice president of LCPI; and Jennifer Hooper, executive director, Main Street Lakewood.

BACKGROUND: Main Street, a national program led by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, provides an economic development and preservation program that assists communities to reenergize their traditional commercial districts. It has been implemented in more than 1,800 cities across the country. The city of Lakewood was accepted into the Main Street revitalization program in 2005 and designated Detroit Avenue between Arthur Avenue and Bunts Avenue as the official Main Street area.

Is this the one that wants to put a farmers market in the middle of Detroit Ave and also narrow Detroit Ave in general?
