Interested in Contributing to Luray Downtown Initiative?
Our community is strengthened when we have help from our neighbor businesses. Many have contributed to the strength of downtown. A strength that has created new businesses and sustained existing ones. A strength that continues to mobilize a community and stimulate a tourism economy.
LDI is the advocate for downtown; tasked with tenant assistance, public relations, marketing, event coordination, community support, and program administration of the “Main Street Approach” to revitalization. Along with the program director, established committees shape the environment downtown.
Committees include Design, Economic Restructuring, Promotions, and Organization. Volunteers are always needed to fill positions on these committees, allowing LDI to continue its mission established back in 2004 “ . . . to restore the economic base, historical flavor, beauty and vitality of our downtown district through partnering with our residents, government and business groups.”
Economic and business development is also a key component to cultivating and maintaining “life” in Downtown Luray. Contributions and donations enable LDI to continue to develop the business district and benefit the community with established programs and initiatives.
LDI’s benefits to Downtown Luray include:
- Better use of community resources through the establishment of partnerships
- Beautified and animated downtown
- Increased and diversified employment opportunities
- Greater tourist and resident attraction using social media, website and print collateral
- Enhanced property values
