New Website!

Thanks to the invaluable assistance and generosity of LakewoodAlive member and web designer, Mark Dubis, Main Street Lakewood finally has a website: mainstreetlakewood.org

Inspired by the Lakewood Observer to move forward on this project, we decided to adopt the format of the well-received LakewoodAlive website, designed by members KC McKenna and Jonathan Morgan.

We will be peridocally recognizing our partners on the homepage. Since the Chamber of Commerce help to found LCPI, and continues to support us with essential funding, it is our inaugural honoree!

Other news:

First New Jersey, owner of the INA Building, is working with Cleveland-based Herschman Architects on a concept design for a new facade.

We are in contact with property owners and the City to assure sidewalks remain clear for pedestrians in the commercial district during the winter season. Except in a few instances where we've had to sort out who is responsible for what, most sidewalks were clear on Monday morning. Cooperation by businesses is very good. We want to make downtown Lakewood an inviting and accessible place to visitors in every season. We hope you notice the effort!

We received the final copy of the Detroit Streetscape design from City Architecture this week. It will be posted on the City, Main Street and LakewoodAlive websites shortly. It will be presented to the Planning Commission for approval and then to City Council for adoption.

Building on the success of Light Up Lakewood, we are in the early stages of another community event on Detroit Avenue in downtown Lakewood this summer. Let us know if you'd like to be involved.
