We met this past Monday and talked on the phone with Jerry Allen from the Cultural + Planning Group. He gave up a proposed timeline and descriptions of the four sub-committees that they would like to work with (all this information is in the meeting notes).

We also had most of the committee members there to sign up for different sub-committees (here the link to the list). If you missed the meeting, please look over the descriptions and send me an email with which one (or two or three or four) you would like to be a part of: emiley@losalamos.org.

Thanks for everyone's hard work!

State Resource Team Visits Los Alamos

A resource team composed of officials from various state agencies visited Los Alamos for several days in April and conducted focus groups with dozens of community members and organizations in order to provide advice to the recently designated Los Alamos Arts & Cultural District. Their work culminated in a public presentation that shared observations and recommendations from the visit.

The presentation was videotaped for playback on PAC-8 beginning in late April and a DVD is being made available for checkout at the Chamber. In addition, the presentation slides, background information about the Arts and Cultural District, and information about the steering committee working on this project are available by clicking here (large .pdf file; 2M).

Los Alamos MainStreet, in collaboration with the Los Alamos Arts Council and Los Alamos County applied for and received the New Mexico Arts and Culture District status for downtown Los Alamos in 2009. The resource team visit is a step in the process for fulfilling the requirements of maintaining that status and developing a plan for implementing the district. The basis for the district is sharing of Los Alamos’ unique creative heritage in the arts and science.

Goals for the Los Alamos Creative District include:

• Sharing the unique creative heritage of Los Alamos with residents and visitors;

• The development of the district will serve as a catalyst for supporting and developing service, restaurant, retail and hospitality businesses within the proposed district;

• The district will improve the community’s capacity for economic benefit from visitation and tourism by creating a stronger, more focused argument for visiting and spending time in downtown Los Alamos.
