Director David Brooks' Message
Do you enjoy the energy of downtown Lebanon on a sunny Thursday evening in the summer when the Farmer's Market is alive with people shopping, eating, dancing, or just meeting each other? Do you appreciate the sight of hundreds of people enjoying a post-race meal and celebration after the Shamrock Shuffle or Skip's Run? Do you wish that vitality could be felt during the rest of the week or the rest of the year?
It seems that a lot of people do!
Vision & Purpose Statement
The City's 2030 Master Plan devotes an entire chapter to downtown Lebanon. The overall theme of the Lebanon Central Business District chapter (Chapter 3) is to achieve just that kind of energy and liveliness all year round. The Vision and Purpose statement for the chapter states that:
"Downtown Lebanon shall continue to be a vibrant part of the community - a crossroads where residents and visitors work, meet, shop, learn, participate in local governance, and share in a good quality of life and a firm sense of community and belonging. The City of Lebanon seeks to promote and enhance downtown Lebanon as a vital business, social and recreational center of the community while preserving its historic ‘small-town' atmosphere."
