LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Main Street Association (LMSA) is initiating a plan to revitalize downtown Lakeport based on a National Trust model called The Main Street Program.

“If you want to be involved in building a better downtown Lakeport, have ideas about how that can be done and want to see it get done, then we need you,” said Lakeport Main Street Association Executive Director Carol Hays.

Volunteers are needed to serve on one of four major committees.

These groups will be planning and executing programs and ideas for such activities as festivals and events, public art, building facade improvement, historic preservation, merchant assistance and visitor attraction.

Volunteers can expect to spend six to 10 hours per month.
