project cowork Los Alamos Opens June 8 helps empower ideas and mash them with others. Experts have said that coworking environments offer individuals increased innovation, happiness and productivity when compared to the more isolated experiences of working from home or in a coffee shop, where all-day work sessions are not always encouraged in the space. project cowork Los Alamos, a new collaborative coworking space located at 150 Central Park Square, will officially open to the public on Wed., June 8. A ribboncutting opening ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. At 5:30 p.m. the celebration will continue in conjunction with the monthly Los Alamos Entrepreneurs Network social event. Food and drinks will be available, and the public is encouraged to attend to check out the new space. “project ,” once the code name for Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, pays homage to the Manhattan Project-era with its décor. Some of the furniture and decorations were donated by the now-cancelled “Manhattan” TV show production that filmed in Santa Fe for two seasons. The 2,400 square-foot open floor plan of project accommodates desks, a kitchen, private phone rooms, lounge areas and a conference room. It is intended to foster a dynamic, collaborative work environment that harnesses the collective energy of those working and sharing ideas in the space. Coworking is now considered a global movement that many say is the future of the work environment, with DeskMag reporting that the most rapid growth is seen across regions in Asia. In New Mexico, Albuquerque has established a coworking alliance of several of its own coworking spaces, such as FatPipe ABQ, Ideas & Coffee Coworking, and Quelab. Santa Fe is home to CoLAB at Second Street Studios and the executive suites of Regus. The magic of coworking is to build an opportunity-rich community, not simply use the environment as an office space. You can work for yourself, but not by yourself, as the community effect
At project , the intention is to build a community of resources and serve as a hub for startups, freelancers and others to feel like they belong to a wider community of like-minded individuals. project will host events, conduct programming and connect entrepreneurs with business experts, investors and other mentors who will help them achieve their personal and professional goals. While project cowork Los Alamos is intended to be a physical collaborative space for like-minded innovators to gather, share ideas, seek guidance, make important connections and have fun, it simultaneously promotes sustainable economic progress by encouraging regional entrepreneurship. project delivers a community workplace environment thanks to support from collaborative partners, including Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation, Los Alamos County, Los Alamos National Laboratory Feynman Center for Innovation and Community Relations and Partnerships Office, and Central Park Square owner Philip Kunsberg. Flexible pricing options range from non-member $10/ day passes, to monthly occasional-use memberships that include 5-day and 14-day options, as well as a special “founding member” rate of $149/month for new full-time members who sign up before July 1. Custom packages are also available for corporate events and meetings. The projectY cowork Los Alamos memberships include free admission to all programming and events, WiFi, basic office supplies and printing, as well as coffee, tea and snacks.

MAINSTREET & CHAMBER
Hello,
Summer is almost here and so are the many wonderful events in our community that LACDC organizes. From Chamberfest and the Chamber Golf Tournament to ScienceFest and the Fair & Rodeo Parade, Los Alamos never lacks for things to do. Additionally, there are several exciting recreational events in town that bring in lots of visitors. Our community has great potential to capitalize on tourism with the three nearby National Parks and the great events we host. As I look back on the aesthetic improvements in our downtown over the last decade, I’m proud to see that many businesses have taken the initiative to spruce up their locations also. The way our community looks plays a big role in our ability to capitalize on tourism.

Chamber News Chamberfest – June 11, 2016 On Saturday, June 11th, the community is invited to come downtown to enjoy music, dance, shop, dig in a giant sand pile, look at 4x4 vehicles, and explore other family-friendly entertainment. Chamberfest is expected to draw more than 2,000 consumers to the downtown area. Businesses and nonprofits utilize this opportunity to provide giveaways and games for attendees. Chamberfest is the annual Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce event featuring Chamber Members. At this event, businesses and nonprofits alike showcase their products and services for the public. There are more than 325 Los Alamos businesses and nonprofits that are Chamber Members. “Los Alamos small businesses are vital to the quality of life in our Community” said County Council Chair Rick Reese. Chamberfest is an opportunity for the Community to recognize and learn about the wonderful businesses in Los Alamos.” This year Chamberfest is marking its 20th anniversary. Chamberfest was started by former Chamber Executive Director Suzie Havemann in 1996 before the Chamber was operated by Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation. The first few years of the event it was called “Summerfest.” “The idea was to get the people of Los Alamos into Thunderbird Shoes, Tiano Sports, Brownell’s Hallmark, Don Taylor’s, CB Fox,” Havemann said. “To bring people down here with fun events that focused on kids.” This year Chamberfest booths will be concentrated in and around Central Park Square, MainStreet and Central Avenue between 15th and 20th streets. Entertainment will include Eddy and the Nomads, a 4x4 car show, dog pool area, and kids’ activity area with the LANB sand pile and a special event in the middle of Central Avenue sponsored by Del Norte Credit Union. Chamberfest is a family-oriented activity that serves several purposes: •
To provide families with fun and entertainment while familiarizing them with Chamber Members.
•
To bring people into the downtown for positive community-oriented experiences. The event acquaints potential customers with businesses and nonprofits they might not normally visit.
•
To contribute to the overall feeling of well-being in the community.
“Citizens can have fun and, at the same time, celebrate the positive impact local businesses have on our vibrant community,” Reese said. There is an outdoor, catered picnic on Friday, June 10th that recognizes Chamber Members at Ashley Pond before the Gordon’s Summer Concert. This low-key recognition is for everyone to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Chamber Members can register for the picnic at the same time that they sign up for their booth at Chamberfest using their login and password on the Chamber website.

Chamber Features Chamber Works to Ease Sign Code Issues The Chamber of Commerce has been working on two fronts to assist the business community in understanding and changing the County Sign Code. The code, like all laws, is written in language designed for subject matter experts to understand, not the average person. Certain aspects of the code were also not working for the business community and needed changing. The Chamber has developed a booklet which interprets the County Sign Code into layman’s language and offers resources such as referrals to sign printers and the LACDC Façade Loan program. “Guidelines for Businesses: The County Sign Code” is designed for the business owner who is putting up their first sign in Los Alamos County or is making adjustments to bring a sign into compliance with the code. It does not address parts of the Sign Code that a real estate developer or large commercial business would use, nor does it touch on garage sale signs or election signs. Copies of “Guidelines for Businesses: The County Sign Code” are available at the Chamber of Commerce office, the County Community Development Office, the Small Business Center, and the Small Business Development Center at UNM-LA. In fall 2015, some members of the Los Alamos business community were expressing dissatisfaction with both the process and the regulatory code that controlled their ability to post signage identifying their business locations. Although the Sign Code had been thoroughly revised in 2012, the Chamber observed the current online conversations, listened to concerns from business owners, and met with local leaders to determine the facts of the situation. In November 2015 a Chamber of Commerce Business Breakfast was conducted at which business owners and managers read relevant sections of the Sign Code and made suggestions on how to make the code more business friendly. A series of proposed code changes were developed with the intent of making the local sign code more business-friendly while still retaining the spirit of the regulatory nature of the code. The proposed changes were negotiated with County Community Development/Planning staff and then presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration. Proposed Changes: 1. Divide the temporary banners into two separate types of banners – those that identify a business, and those that advertise a time-limited business event such as a sale or help wanted. This is to clarify for businesses, and for the county differences, in how these types of banners are used and the length of time each is needed based on the information they communicate to their intended audience. – The time proposed for displaying a temporary banner identifying a business (120 days) is based on research into real-world time re quired to obtain a permanent sign – this includes obtaining financing for a permanent sign, designing it, manufacturing it, obtaining permits for it, and having it installed. This temporary banner is allowed once for a new business only. – The business event banners would also be temporary, but would be allowed for a significantly shorter period of time (14 days), multiple times during the year. 2. Remove feather signs from the umbrella of the banners definition, and provide specific definition and regulation for this specific type of sign. The proposed regulations take into account public safety in regard to stability of feather signs and the appearance of the com munity – limiting each business to one feather sign, but increase business friendliness by allowing display during tourist and holiday season (combined total of 6 months). 3. Remove regulations on the size restriction for hours of operation and allow a business to display its business hours in a size that potential customers can read from their car in the parking lot. 4. Remove regulations on restrictions on vending machines.
The Planning and Zoning Commission agreed with the changes to create the two different categories for banners and to eliminate the restrictions on the size of hours of operations and directed county staff to prepare official language for a hearing for the Commission to consider forwarding the issue to County Council. The Commission would like to study the vending machine and feather flag issues further and have requested reports from county staff and the Manhattan Project National Historical Park Signage and Wayfinding Committee. 6

Chamber Features Register for a Different Kind of Golf Tournament Golfers of all skill levels: Save the morning of Friday, July 29 to participate in a Golf Event unlike any other you will play this summer! The Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament will test your skills not only with a golf club but also with various other athletic equipment, reward your generosity to United Way of Northern New Mexico with assistance in your golf game, and challenge you with the first-ever water hazard on the Los Alamos Golf Course. The event begins with breakfast and Mimosas, followed by a 9 a.m. shotgun start. Golfers will face a variety of challenges that one does not normally encounter on the local links. It’s a little bit golf, a little bit reality show, and a little bit high school gym class. But the day is not all craziness; it includes a break during the game for Bloody Marys and shrimp cocktail. Regardless of what your score is, the event wraps up with an awards ceremony during lunch. The purpose of the event is to raise funds for United Way of Northern New Mexico. The mission of the event is to be a fun event that is different from all of the other tournaments that happen every weekend all summer long at all of the golf courses in the northern New Mexico region.

Los Alamos MainStreet was selected as a winner at the 2016 Great American Main Street Awards, chosen by the National Main Street Center, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Los Alamos MainStreet in New Mexico was picked as “One to Watch,” for being a neighborhood making progress revitalizing their downtown district. Suzette Fox, Los Alamos MainStreet Executive Director stated, “I am so honored and delighted to receive the national designation of “One To Watch”. I would like to thank to the National MainStreet Center, New Mexico MainStreet, Los Alamos County and the Los Alamos Commerce & Development Corporation for their support and encouragement. This award would not have been possible without the help of the Los Alamos MainStreet Board, the Los Alamos Historical Society and countless people in our community. ” “The 2016 GAMSA winners have succeeded in making their towns an exciting place to live, work, play and visit through implementing our historic preservation-based methodology for downtown revitalization,” said Patrice Frey, president and CEO of the National Main Street Center, in a statement. “In each locality, the local Main Street organization has collaborated with residents, business owners and other local partners to revitalize their district by promoting the assets that makes that community special.” The awards were presented May 23rd at the center’s 2016 Main Street Now Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Winners were chosen by a national jury composed of former award winners, community development professionals, and government representatives involved in historic preservation and community revitalization. Criteria include “strength of the Main Street in creating an exciting place to live, work, play and visit; commitment to historic preservation; implementation of model partnerships, and demonstrated success” of the center’s approach to revitalizing downtown corridors, the center said.
