LA GRANDE – (Original Release from the LGMSD Newsletter) We are excited about the new days ahead for La Grande Main Street Downtown.
Like all organizations, we are rebuilding, and, with that, we have adopted a new strategic direction that we will be formulating into a step-by-step plan going forward in 2023. Along with the very successful events and activities that are ongoing, we look forward to this strategic plan guiding our new emphasis that will sustain the beautiful growing and vibrant Downtown of La Grande.
We are excited about our new executive director, Monica McLaughlin, and look forward to her front office leadership as she energizes her gifts to lead us forward. We also have four new Board members coming onto the Board in January who will bring needed energy and ideas into our Board.
The holiday season is right around the corner. Be sure and watch for Plaid Friday/Small Business Saturday, the Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting on December 3rd, and the Downtown Ball Drop on New Year’s Eve. These events Downtown truly show off the uniqueness of Downtown La Grande.
We appreciate each of our members and each of our volunteers and we look forward to a fantastic New Year.
Brent Clapp
Main Street Board President
