LEWISTON, ID [January 12th, 2024] — Beautiful Downtown Lewiston, the heart of our community, is humbled in extending heartfelt appreciation to our invaluable ratepayers, partners & event sponsors for their support, both financial and otherwise. The remarkable progress we’ve achieved would not have been possible without the community’s steadfast dedication to our shared vision.
In the spirit of collaboration, Beautiful Downtown Lewiston is overjoyed to announce a remarkable 47% increase in community participation at our diverse range of events throughout the downtown area. This surge in engagement is a testament to the incredible energy and enthusiasm our community invests in creating a vibrant and connected local experience.
Furthermore, the positive impact of enhanced event advertising and programming has yielded an astonishing 130% average increase in sales during these events. This success is a direct result of the community’s support and Beautiful Downtown Lewiston’s commitment to continuously elevate the quality and excitement of our offerings.
Beautiful Downtown Lewiston is proud to play a pivotal role in making these achievements a reality. Our dedication to fostering a dynamic and thriving community, coupled with the unyielding support of our ratepayers, partners and event sponsors has been instrumental in our shared success story.
