I have always said to my family and friends that Sturgis needs to think about all the rest of the year, not just Rally week. THere is still a town with children and families when all of those bikers are gone. My biggest suggestion is bring in business. You could talk to the outlet companies and bring in STURGIS OUTLETS for shopping. They are awesome! I do 99% of my shopping at the outlets here in NY. The other suggestion is bring in a huge business like Home Depot or Bed Bath and Beyond. Something the community could use! Most of these companies are all for community and maybe you can get some kid friendly things in there. The city doesn't even do crazy days anymore or canival or roller skating anymore.

As a member of Weaver Art Gallery in Sturgis I have a vested interest in the development of main street. The city of Sturgis must take progressive action to stop the erosion of main street. Other cities have done and Sturgis can to.

Sturgis is a nice community with many events, including the one recognized worldwide--the motorcycle rally. We are about more than that. Kudos to the Future Sturgis group and the Community Pride Committee for all the work they have done and continue to do in promoting Sturgis and the Main Street community. Sturgis has had 20 new businesses in the previous 12 months thanks to the hardwork of many individuals. Thank you for developing this wonderful site.

I am a member of the Weaver Art Gallery on Main Street We offer a uniqueness to a shopping experience. Our vision is for Sturgis main street to become a viable, vital, and positive experience for our community and tourists that visit. We (the Weaver) are pursuing with the help of other organizations and businesses the "Sturgis Sculpture Walk" for 2010, and the "Sturgis Hands On Art's Festival" for the summer of 2010, both annual events. With the able and appreciated help of the Chamber leadership, the City leadership, SABA. SAAC, and the Future Sturgis Committee Leadership , Main Street can become a "great experience to shop and visit" with uniqueness, that will set our City apart, and make us known for more than just the "rally". The Main Street project takes city wide involvement, and thanks to Lonnie and other community and city leaders the vision is becoming a reality...... i

I believe that some in the Tee Shirt and Motorcycle Industry have taken advantage of the Sturgis citizens and the community in general.When someone comes into a community and buy,s Buildings and bulldozes property to make a parking lot to use to make money for 10 days, then packs up their stuff and leaves for 11 and 1/2 month,s is a slap in the face of the entire community. My only hope is that Future Sturgis, The community and the City Administration can work together to come up with a master plan to revitalize our downtown area. I will support what ever it takes to restore our downtown area. Remember folk,s " If You Don't Climb The mountain, You Can't See the View"

Downtown reflects the overall image a community projects to potential investors. an invigorated downtown makes a very positive statement about the whole community.
