Downtown Lapeer – What Do You Think Would Make It Grow?

What does downtown Lapeer do to begin a resurgence of growth? Got any ideas? A recent survey found that vacant storefronts, a lack of interesting places, high rent, and lack of support were issues that a number of people thought were limiting growth. So, we are looking for fresh ideas to kick start a re-birth. You're invited to explore possibilities that people in the survey shared and post your ideas on the US1031 facebook page too! Here are some suggestions that people offered:Would a Micro-brewery downtown attract customers?

Would a downtown meat market be of interest?

If there was a children's play center would you take advantage of it?

Would you come downtown more often if there was development of the riverfront?

Are there stores/businesses that you would like to see in the downtown area that aren't there now?

Whatever you think that would make a difference, share it with us!
