When our friends at JLG asked us to help with this project, we knew it had the potential to transform the Dickinson downtown and shape generations of experience for locals. The project team was great and the City persevered making a one-of-a-kind destination that invites their whole community to gather.
And now. . . well folks are noticing! This is from the Legacy Square Facebook Page:

The Main Street Excellence award is given to recognize communities whose efforts embody all four pillars of the Main Street Initiative: Smart, Efficient Infrastructure; 21st Century Workforce; Economic Diversification, and Healthy, Vibrant Communities.
The City of Dickinson is incredibly proud of the addition of Dickinson Legacy Square to our downtown community. From its original conceptualization to our first full season of programming, it has been a work and labor of love from our community.
We are grateful to those involved in the planning and design, construction, fundraising, and staffing, and to all who have donated to make this dream a reality. We feel truly privileged and honored to be recognized with the Governorโs Main Street Excellence Award and we look forward to the continued community partnerships and shared success that this venue will bring to the City of Dickinson.
The write up in the Dickinson Free Press highlights the governorโs presentation of the award! Very cool. The accompanying video is chill: check it out over in Facebook!
Beyond that it feels like Legacy Square is helping the movers and shakers of the City think about how they prioritize investment in their city - keeping it local! Hereโs a quick news report on that!
And hereโs one that showโs how fun it is down there!
