Community members are invited to meet new director and learn more about MSL at an Open House this Thursday, November 7 at The Works in Lansing

Main Street Lansing (MSL) has hired a new executive director; and although she wasn’t born and raised there, a person could be forgiven for thinking she was. “Lansing has always been my second home,” she says.
Jackie Cooper grew up in rural Fayette and currently lives in the Churchtown area with her husband, Jalen - who was born and raised in Lansing - and their three children, all under five years old. She and her husband both fish and hunt (bow and shotgun), and they both love the Mississippi River. In a recent Main Street Lansing newsletter, Cooper introduced herself, saying, “My family and I spent countless summer days enjoying the beauty of the river and the warmth of the Lansing community.”
