Laramie Main Street Alliance (LMSA) has been announced as a semifinalist for Main Street America’s Great American Main Street Award (GAMSA), a national recognition of strong downtowns exemplifying innovative programming, commitment to preservation, engagement, diversity, and cross-sector partnerships.
LMSA was founded in 2005 by local volunteers interested in utilizing Main Street America’s Four Point Approach to downtown development. In their application, they identified a desire to “create a formal organizational structure” to provide leadership and manpower necessary to implement plans and maintain a strong foundation for downtown revitalization.

- strength of the Main Street program in spurring community transformation
- commitment to historic preservation
- innovative programming
- implementation of cross-sector partnerships
- community outreach and stakeholder engagement
- commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
Winners for 2022’s GAMSA will be announced on May 16 at the Main Street Now Conference in Richmond, Virginia.
