Welcome to the NEW Leadville MainStreet Newsletter!

WEEK OF MARCH 15, 2021

Friends!

We are excited to announce the transition of the Leadville MainStreet Program from the City of Leadville, to the Leadville Lake County Economic Development Corporation (LLCEDC)! We will be enthusiastically moving forward under new leadership from Marla Akridge, Executive Director of the LLCEDC, and Nancy Bailey, who in addition to her duties at the LLCEDC, is now also our new Leadville MainStreet Director. Nancy has held a variety of positions in community, economic development and nonprofits focusing on fundraising, community outreach, marketing/communications and project management. Help us welcome Marla and Nancy to the team!

We are always open to new ideas, especially if we can help meet the needs of our community, as they relate to our downtown shared spaces. So, if you have one, or would like to join us, please contact us! email mainstreet@lakecountyedc.com

MainStreet focuses on the assets, resources, and people of Leadville, preserving key cultural, historic properties; revitalizing commercial buildings; and adding outdoor features to create a sense of energy for Leadville's future! More about us » and Follow us on Facebook »

Welcome to MainStreet!

We would like to welcome our newest member of Harrison Avenue - Blue Vessel!

Blue Vessel is your local Leadville flower shop in downtown Leadville (previously Florista Spells Studio). My new business name and logo are both personal and hold all the potential for my limitless ambitions, hopes, and dreams as a business downtown. We will offer fresh flowers, in-store and delivery, and other curated gifts. Today, Thursday March 18, 2021, I am opening my doors to the public at 460 Harrison Avenue for a very soft opening that will start my regular hours Monday - Saturday 10am-6pm, as I continue to get things moved into the space and all the kinks worked out! In the near future, I envision the space opening up to the community for small meetings, styled gatherings, and free music nights to enjoy in an atmosphere surrounded among beautiful flowers and plant life. Downtown is close to my heart, and I am so happy and excited to continue serving my community in such a different capacity. My business will provide the same quality service from day one as it would on its 100th anniversary, to welcome into my storefront, and provide all generations with quality flowers.

Your Florista, Destinee
