Small Wins for La mo...
Even before the Re(STORE)ing La MO Project, local citizens were succeeding at giving our town "Small Wins" . We want to highlight what those were, to encourage everyone coming along now. It shows how the Re(STORE)ing of La MO comes in all forms, and from all groups.

The sidewalk grant was a huge success for our town. The sidewalks from the riverfront to 26th Street are completely new on the south side, with repaired portions on the north side. In the downtown area, a brick inlay was added to widen the walking space and add a touch of detail.

Even through the crazy events in the world this past year, entrepreneurs were not dissuaded from starting to make their dreams become a reality. Nearly a dozen/eateries opened their doors, at the appropriate time, and became part of the Re(STORE)ing La MO Project movement.

Winter Window Project
Our town has a wonderful historic business district featuring some amazing buildings. As we work to fill them with thriving business, we wanted to give the vacant buildings "LIFE" during the holiday season. Our answer to this...Winter Windows. Decorated by dozens of volunteers as well as existing business owners. It's been a big hit for 2 years now!
