Leadership La Porte County gets ready to sing new tune at Symphony Gallery
LA PORTE -- Leadership La Porte County has moved its office to 614 Lincoln Way and will be sharing space with the La Porte Symphony Center and Gallery. Leadership had spent the past six years in the Hiler Building at the corner of Michigan and State streets, which was recently purchased by the County and will be housing some government offices.
“We are excited about this opportunity to support downtown La Porte and to partner with such a wonderful organization like the La Porte County Symphony Orchestra,” said Leadership Director Jim Jessup.
The Leadership office will be directly behind the gallery on the main floor, while the Symphony offices have moved upstairs. Both organizations will share storage space and the meeting/training room in the basement. The Leadership La Porte County office is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The gallery is open on Friday and Saturday only from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
