LA Metro Chamber February 13th Breakfast ~ This is Lewiston: Transforming a Neighborhood, Strengthening a City

February 13, 2025 6:45 AM - 9:00 AM (EST)

Description



Postponed to March 20th


Join us as we hear from Choice partners about the extent of new economic investment thanks to Choice and what's next for these efforts in Lewiston.

In 2021, Lewiston became the smallest city in the United States to be awarded the $30 million Choice Implementation Grant, which kicked off significant investment for new housing, increased access to child care and health care, and more in Lewiston's Tree Streets Neighborhood and beyond.
