LANSDOWNE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

The Lansdowne Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) invites you to discover
a community where creativity thrives, small businesses are supported, and neighbors come together to shape a vibrant future. As a nonprofit, LEDC serves as both a steward of Lansdowne’s historic identity and a catalyst for growth. Our mission is to drive revitalization, foster creative economy opportunities, and promote inclusive community engagement. By advancing innovative initiatives that celebrate art, culture, and local talent, we are building a stronger, more connected Lansdowne for all.

We support small businesses, artists, and residents through a mix of programs and services. Our most beloved programs include the Lansdowne Farmers Market, which provides access to fresh, local food while supporting regional vendors; Arts on the Avenue and A Bit of the Arts, two festivals that showcase the depth of local creative talent; and the free public art programming at the 20*20 House, which fosters dialogue and discovery through exhibitions and artist-led programs. At Utility Works, our coworking and maker facility, we provide affordable studios, shared equipment, and collaborative workspaces that fuel both artistic practice and entrepreneurial ventures.

Throughout the year, LEDC strengthens a people-centered economy. By investing in both the creative sector and the small business community, we not only build a stronger local economy but also provide our region with unique arts and cultural amenities and experiences. These investments reinforce Lansdowne’s identity as a walkable, welcoming, and diverse borough.
