SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey

We need YOUR participation!

The Research Triangle Foundation (RTF) is in the process of creating a Master Plan to guide the Research Triangle Park's future growth and evolution. One of the ideas already being pursued is the creation of a walkable, mixed-use core within the Park.

As part of the master planning process the RTF is reaching out to gain input from a wide array of sources--local, regional, and national. Among the most important sources are employees working within the Park. To this, we would like to hear directly from you. By taking the following survey, you'll let us know what we can do to make the Park, and this planned mixed-use core, a better place to live, work, and play. All responses are confidential and the survey will take about 10 - 15 minutes to complete.

We want your insights--so much so that we are giving away iPad minis to two lucky participants. Entry into the drawing is voluntary and you will need to submit your email address to enter (your information will not be used for ANY other purpose other than to notify you if your name is drawn).

We appreciate your insights and interest in helping guide the future of the Park.
