The City of Lenoir Main Street Department is sponsoring a Love Letters for Local campaign this month. Staff are asking residents to grab a pen and piece of paper and take a few minutes to show their love for small businesses in downtown.
How it works:
- Write a love letter for a Downtown Lenoir business during the month of February. Visit the Love Local page for a list of businesses.
- Make sure to include the BUSINESS NAME on the outside of your letter or envelope.
- Drop it in one of our special “Love Letters for Local” mailboxes, no postage necessary!
- Love Letters for Local runs through the end of February, so make sure you submit your letter by 5:00 pm Monday, Feb. 28, 2022.

"We're going to hand these out to the businesses as a show of love from the community," Main Street Community Engagement Coordinator Matthew Anthony said. "We really enjoy our downtown businesses, and we know a lot of other residents do, too. This an easy way to encourage residents to show that love, because we can always use a reminder that we're appreciated."

Drop off your love letter for local at one of the drop boxes at the entrance to the stage in Downtown Lenoir.
