Survey wants your insights on downtown Detroit

If you haven’t been to downtown Detroit in say the last decade, you might not recognize the place. It wasn’t long ago when the center of the 14th largest metropolitan area in the United States could feel like a ghost town on weekends and after working hours. Today, cranes and construction equipment — along with significant increases in pedestrian and small business activity — signal a new era for downtown Detroit.

As it plans for the future, the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP), a group of civic and corporate leaders that “advocates and develops programs and initiatives designed to create a clean, safe, and inviting Downtown Detroit,” wants to know how you perceive the downtown area and what you think it will take to make it a better place. The survey will be accepting responses all of October.

DDP says that it intends to “proactively use survey results to inform our programs and services to better serve businesses, residents and visitors contributing to Downtown’s revitalization” and “wants to tell the positive stories about living, working and experiencing the Downtown neighborhood.”

Those who complete the survey are eligible to win $100 gift cards from Pure Detroit and Blumz by JR Designs.
