Dear Business Owner,
La Grande Main Street Downtown (LGMSD) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to engage the community to create a welcoming and economically diverse downtown rooted in La Grande’s history and culture. With the addition of the new board members, we are excited about the momentum we have, and plan to continue that growth for years to come! We are looking forward to planning more downtown events, continue to address the number of empty storefronts while providing resources for existing and potential business owners, strengthen the relationship between downtown and EOU, and integrate community members into our downtown. With your support, we will be able to preserve our history and culture while continuing to create an inviting and sustainable downtown. LGMSD events and activities include:
We support member businesses by promoting and advertising on our community calendar, newsletters, and social media updates, as well as offering free Business Development Workshops. Other LGMSD initiatives include managing the downtown flower baskets, adding lighted Holiday Wreaths to the light poles, street furniture and adding features downtown to help attract foot traffic to the area. This year we will continue to manage the façade grant program to restore historic buildings, make our downtown more beautiful and inviting through public art and decorations, and continue to support businesses any way that we can. As a member, you are helping build La Grande’s downtown area and at the same time receiving valuable member benefits and tools for your business. Thank you for your support, I look forward to working with you! Monica McLaughlin LGMSD Executive Director director@lagrandemainstreet.org (541) 313-8770 |
