Lighting Keeps a Libby Community Center Open

The Libby Memorial Events Center serves as an important community gathering space, hosting everything from school concerts and workshops to nonprofit fundraisers and community meetings. But when a recent power surge damaged the building’s aging lighting system, the Memorial Center was left intermittently in the dark. Volunteers and a local electrician managed to patch together temporary fixes, but members of the Kootenai Heritage Council, the nonprofit owner and operator of the building, knew they needed a permanent solution. In need of support, they reached out to LOR with an idea. LOR’s funding will help install a new LED lighting system at the Memorial Center, ensuring this vital community space can continue hosting events that bring Libby residents together.
