Dear editor,
Congratulations to the Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority for their recent perfect score on the Oakland County Main Street Accreditation!
I had the honor of serving as Interim Director and saw first-hand how hard the Downtown Development Authority board members, staff and volunteers worked to build a Downtown community you can all be proud of and worthy of this prestigious accreditation.
As a community, Lake Orion residents should be very proud of all those who have a hand in making sure that the revitalization of your Downtown moves forward in a positive direction.
Those people include the DDA Board members, staff, committee volunteers, Village Council and staff, and the business owners within the district.
You have a lot of exciting projects scheduled for 2010, including the improvements to the Downtown streetscape.
Even though construction may be a little inconvenient, the benefits will pay off with an improved, safer pedestrian environment where you and your families can spend time and enjoy your community.
My best wishes for a successful project and an even more successful downtown!
