Newburgh Parking Study Survey

The City of Newburgh Planning & Development Department is conducting a parking study to evaluate the availability of public parking and to provide recommendations to address current and future parking needs.

The Project Team (Planning & Development Department, Desman Parking Consultants, and SLR Consulting) wants to hear from residents, business owners, property owners, visitors, and other community members about their experiences with parking in the City. Your input will provide valuable insights into how parking is being used today, identify challenges and opportunities for improvements, and guide parking recommendations. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. All responses will remain anonymous.

Thank you for participating!
