LEDC Community Focus Group Meetings

Do you feel engaged, empowered, and equipped to take on your dreams in the Lansdowne community? You deserve to.

As a town full of diverse and intergenerational creatives, entrepreneurs, and community activists, let’s make sure everyone, including underrepresented voices, are heard. You are needed.

This May, the Lansdowne Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) is hosting small creative focus groups that make space for real talk and real connections. No panels. No lectures. Whether you’ve felt left out or just want to help build a more connected future, we need your voice for an open, honest conversation about what’s missing, what’s possible, and how we can do better, together. You are wanted.

We can do better than a seat at the table. Let’s build a new one.

If you’ve got ideas, hopes, or things to say, you’re invited. Because you are home.

These focus groups are a part of the LEDC’s work in creating their five-year strategic plan as part of our Main Street Matters designation renewal. This plan will drive our efforts to empower the community, strengthen connections between artists and residents, and build a more resilient small business ecosystem.
