Main Street Le Mars Mission Statement
“ The mission of the Main Street Le Mars program is to maintain and improve the downtown historic character through
preservation and restoration efforts, to strengthen, promote and expand the cultural and economic base of downtown
Le Mars, and to market the downtown as a quality place to live, shop and invest. ”
Le Mars Main Street Vision Statement
The future downtown Le Mars will be known for its restoration of unique buildings, friendly and safe atmosphere, and
progressive attitudes. It will continue to be our goal to maintain regional pull power, community loyalty and a healthy
variety of retail and service businesses. The area’s economic vitality will demonstrate the high quality of life enjoyed
by the citizens of Le Mars. Tourists visiting the community, because of its distinctive status as Ice Cream Capital of the
World ®, will be drawn to the downtown through tours, marketing/promotions and the effort of the businesses to
provide exceptional customer service and products.
A sense of unity will have been established through a strong leadership provided by the Le Mars Area Chamber of
Commerce, as well as partnerships with the City of Le Mars, the Historic Preservation Commission and other local
businesses and organizations. Through these cooperative efforts the Main Street division will continually strive to
achieve a downtown that is economically strong and asthetically beautiful.

describe a classic heart attack. It is one type of myocardial infarction in which a part of the
heart muscle (myocardium) has died due to the obstruction of blood supply to the area.
The ST segment refers to the flat section of an electrocardiogram (ECG) reading and
represents the interval between jagged heartbeats. When a person has a heart attack, this
segment will no longer be flat but will appear abnormally elevated.]
