Mission: We are committed to preserving a historically and financially thriving Main Street through economic development and community engagement.

Vision: Lansing will be a thriving business community in a charming atmosphere, built on honesty and integrity, with friendly people working together. Lansing’s location in the Bluffs on the Mississippi River makes its historical Main Street district a travel destination where everyone wants to visit, shop and stay forever. 

Since downtown is the center of community spirit and first impression of the community – residents and visitors will find full storefronts, a variety of basic and unique businesses, jobs, a new streetscape, and updated buildings that recognize their history while incorporating 21st-century technology. Buying local will be a priority.

Businesses and new ideas for tourists, combined with hometown-feel businesses, will encourage small business opportunities and increased spending. Year-round activities will be an inspiration to enter, whether by highway or bridge, into Lansing, where Main Street matters.
