Shoreline Hometown Credit Union’s Memorial Drive location was recently sold to Roy and Tamara Lampsa, originally from Palmyra, WI, to be converted into a co-working business space called Great Lakes Plaza. Nathan Grossenbach, CEO at Shoreline Hometown Credit Union is excited about the future prospects of the former Shoreline location. “This building is in an absolutely beautiful setting along Lake Michigan. We fielded multiple offers for the property and ultimately decided to sell to Roy and Tamara because of their obvious desire to invest in our community. We were very pleased to offer the property at a great price in exchange for their desire to give back to our Hometown community of Two Rivers.”
The facility will reopen in honor of Roy Lampsa’s sister, Dr. Diana Lampsa who as a psychiatrist, dedicated her life to helping others, spending most of her professional life at the Great Lakes Psychiatric Center in Two Rivers of which she founded, owned, and operated.
“Part of her will is to support suicide prevention efforts and assisting the mentally ill,” says Roy Lampsa. “We considered a residential property but then decided it would be better to purchase a commercial property to rent out individual offices. This would be for a local businessperson who might need an individual private office or simply just a desk. This endeavor will help build and enrich the community of Two Rivers, which she loved. We will also be working with local organizations that support Two Rivers.”
Plans are to turn the former Shoreline office into a co-working space and open in April. Roy says, “We walked past this place during our visits in Two Rivers. Diana’s heart was here. She loved Two Rivers and lived here for over 20 years.”
Tamara explains, “She loved the people in the area. She moved here to set up practice after working at Holy Family Memorial in Manitowoc. Look for a sign featuring Great Lakes Plaza with an angel logo (similar to Diana’s logo) as part of the design at the location soon.”
Roy states, “My daughter and I came up to Two Rivers, we looked around and thought we can see something great happening here. We were really impressed by the area, the lake, the parks, trails, attractions and, most of all, the sense of community.”
“We are blessed to have been introduced to Roy and Tamara. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that we played a small role in their investment in our community,” Grossenbach says. “We wish for Roy, Tamara, and Great Lakes Plaza to have tremendous success in our community.”
The renovations will be starting in early-to-mid 2020, with the offices being available to rent by the end of this spring. For more information please visit greatlakesplaza.com or call 920-657-9220.
