Columbus OH – Heritage Ohio is proud to announce the 2009 certification of Lakewood as an Ohio Main Street Community. A member of the Main Street program since 2006, Lakewood continues to work towards revitalizing the historic downtown district.

“We are very proud to see the Downtown Lakewood program of LakewoodAlive receive National Accreditation for 2009,” said Jeff Siegler, Director of Revitalization for Heritage Ohio. “This demonstrates that the organization is meeting all of the necessary criteria to be successful in its effort to revitalize Lakewood historic downtown district. The importance of LakewoodAlive’s efforts to sustain downtown businesses and protect the historic infrastructure cannot be overstated during this time of economic uncertainty.” In 2009, $128,789,785 was invested across 38 Ohio Main Street Districts, of which downtown Lakewood was one. For each dollar that went into the local budget, communities saw over $36 in improvements such as renovations, new construction, and façade improvements.
