Demographic Survey of Downtown Residents

Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands. When we found out the city was working off outdated census data from the year 2000 to recruit new business to the downtown we decided that just wasn’t good enough. So your NPNA economic development and retail recruitment team decided to develop a way for us to collect new census data and of course we would like for you all to participate. 

We’re utilizing an easy to use online questionnaire to collect the data. The questionnaire consists of 22 questions relating to standard demographic data along with some fun questions to give us a better idea of our collective personalities. 

It’s not just about the NPNA, we’ll also be sharing the questionnaire with other neighborhood groups who together make up our downtown. Our goal is to create data that we can all use to help recruit new business into the downtown area. 

So take a couple minutes to give your input and tell a friend if you can. We would like to have as many responses as possible by November 30th. Visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=oAffkUtl8CHw23RHmmV0Og_3d_3d and thanks for doing your part to create a more vibrant downtown.  

p.s. Reminder to share your thoughts on the re-branding of the 98c store on Pine and 8th. We’re looking for new store name ideas and new product suggestions.  If you have additional suggestions about the 98c store, please email Andreas Herr at ANDREAS@ANTHEMMAGAZINE.COM.  Thanks to all of you that have shared your ideas so
