Downtown Business Survival Survey

The CEO and staff of DDI talk with business owners daily and hear many of the challenges you are facing as the pandemic continues to devastate our economy. We feel the loss acutely of every downtown business that closes its doors, and we are determined to do everything we can to prevent additional closures.

As a small but mighty organization, it is critical that we concentrate our efforts where they are needed most. For that, we need to hear from you. Please take a moment to fill out this five-question survey to help us determine where we can best put our efforts and resources over the next six months. We will work to mobilize our government and private partners to meet this need.

We can’t do everything, but we will do everything we can.

Thank you in advance for your time and honest input. Your responses are confidential and will go directly to CEO Nicole J. Thompson.
