NPS Publishes Manhattan Project National Park Study

The NPS has published and is seeking comment on a study regarding creation of a Manhattan Project National Park unit. This has very favorable potential synergies with the Los Alamos Creative Culture District concept as noted in our proposal.

State Awards ACD Designation to Los Alamos

A large contingent from Los Alamos attended the State ceremony on August 28th.

Los Alamos Approved for Designation of NM Arts & Culture District

Los Alamos MainStreet has received notification that our proposal to establish a State designated Arts & Culture District in downtown Los Alamos has been accepted. The State expects to make public announcement of the designation in a ceremony tentatively planned for August 28th in Santa Fe. The proposal was reviewed by officials from the NM Arts Commission, the Department of Cultural Affairs, Department of Tourism, and Economic Development Department in reaching the determination.

The proposal (4.5 MB pdf file) was prepared and submitted by Los Alamos MainStreet early this year and included supporting endorsements by Los Alamos County, Los Alamos Arts Council, Los Alamos Historical Society, the Art Center at Fuller Lodge, and the Fuller Lodge Advisory Board.

A steering committee is being formed by Los Alamos MainStreet. Individuals interested in participating may email Kevin Holsapple at kevin[at]losalamos.org to express interest.
