AUBURN — LA Metro Magazine had added Matt Leonard, a local businessman and former president and CEO of the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, as co-owner.
The board of the LA Metro Chamber of Commerce divested its interest in the magazine launched last year through a partnership with Jim Marston, owner of Uncle Andy’s Digest, prompting an opportunity for new ownership investment, according to a news release from the publication. Leonard will assume the duties as chief visionary officer, focusing on business development, creative development and working on a vision to steer the magazine’s course into the future.
“Bringing Matt back into the fold was the right thing to do, said Marston, CEO and editor-in-chief of the magazine. “I see Matt as a great idea guy. He’s a celebrated veteran of the United States Navy; he’s a mover and a shaker and will help take this magazine to the next level. We both see LA Metro Magazine as what LA wants, a premier quality publication to represent it. We’re glad to have him back on the team.”
LA Metro Magazine is published four times a year. Its editions have focused on topics to promote the greater Lewiston-Auburn region highlighting businesses, people, as well as local tourism and visitor interests.
“I am extremely excited to be working with Jim and the talented people at LA Metro Magazine again,” Leonard said. “I believe in the positive future of our communities and I am confident that LA Metro Magazine will play an important role in promoting that story and the interests that make LA such a great place to visit, play and stay.”
