In the multi-choice question regarding what types of retail businesses are needed in Downtown, the two largest responses were for restaurants and clothing stores. There were also high responses for specialty retail, home goods and boutiques.
This survey was not comprehensive but was intended to provide the consultant team and the Steering Committee with a better understanding of how people feel about Downtown. As the Steering Committee (and eventually a CRC) delves deeper into the types of improvements, programs and activities needed to make Downtown more vibrant, additional surveys should be conducted.
