As part of the process of recruiting new retailers, Community Relations and Lakeside Management partnered up for a VOTE campaign. Through social media, local residents can submit ideas for new businesses they would like to see in the neighborhood. To vote, students and neighbors can visit @LUCcommunityrelations on Facebook to place a vote or recommend a business for consideration.
