Our History
A brief history
Downtown Three Lakes Rocks, Inc. grew from the Forward Three Lakes initiative sponsored by the Three Lakes Community Foundation. We officially incorporated in Wisconsin in April of 2021 and currently await our 501(c)3 status from the IRS. Our mission is to develop a growing and caring community with a vibrant downtown that promotes a high quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
Values:
We value a vibrant downtown that attracts visitors and supports businesses
We value a spirit of hospitality towards all residents, seasonal and full time alike
We value a downtown that encourages pedestrian exploration
We value outdoor gathering places and green spaces where all are welcome to rest and play
What have we done:
Created the Gathering Place in an empty lot
Installed wayfinding signs for pedestrians
Connected current and new business owners to resources
Held informational meetings for current business owners
Digitally restored the Skip Wagner Mural on side of Black Forest
What we're doing:
Commissioned a local artist to create a new mural, embodying Three Lakes, that will hang on a downtown business
We will continue to work toward meeting each of these values in the hopes that Three Lakes will always have a warm, and thriving downtown. Thank you for your support as we work together for our community.
