Illuminate Lapeer is a campaign designed to enhance the ambience of historic Lapeer. By partnering with the City of Lapeer, the campaign aims to remove the "Cobra Lights" along Nepessing Street and upgrading the existing classic style street lamps that also line Nepessing St. The result would be better quality lighting and an enhanced historic look to our downtown. The total project has a cost of about $110,000. This includes the removal of the cobra lights, upgrading the classic street lamps to a more efficient, higher quality of light LED bulb, and replacing the semi-opaque domes with a clear dome that will better disperse the light.
The City of Lapeer has agreed that if Lapeer Main Street can raise $30,000 toward this project then they will contribute the additional $80,000 needed to make it a reality. The Lapeer DDA has put in $5000, which means our goal is to raise $25,000. This is where we turn to you and ask for your support. We ask that you please considering make a donation of support of $150 to help us Illuminate Lapeer. Of course, a donation of any level will be welcome and appreciated!
