Thankfully downtown is open and we are ready to see all your smiling faces again. π
What a great day for downtown Escanaba! We were very happy to be celebrating the reopening of Ludington Street.
The Chamber and many member sponsors created Curb the Construction as one small way to remind everyone that while the street may have been closed, our downtown businesses were very much open for business and needed our continued support.
Sheila Krueger, Chamber Associate Director and Tyler Myrick, Chamber Board member presented a $1,000 check to Rick Micheau and Hannah Jones of GRAB & GO who were the winners of the Curb the Construction promotion.
Congratulations, Rick and Hannah, and thank you for making the extra effort to continue supporting our downtown businesses during a challenging summer.
More importantly, thank you to everyone who found their way around those construction signs and through the backdoor entrances to support our downtown. And congratulations to the City, the DDA, the businesses, contractors, and everyone who helped us reach this day.
The construction is behind us, Ludington Street is open, and now it's time to rediscover downtown Escanaba!
Thank you to our Curb the Construction sponsors: Radio Results Network, Crawford Funeral Homes, Lakestate Industries, Community Foundation for Delta County, Leigh's Garden Winery, Delta County EDA, Island Resort & Casino, Escanaba Downtown, Nyman's, Peninsula Federal Credit Union and OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group.
