Pre-I-375 Construction Business Questionnaire

The DDP is collecting baseline economic data from Downtown businesses ahead of the I-375 construction project. These responses will help us understand baseline metrics prior to construction and help DDP and its partners advocate for mitigation initiatives that minimize impact.

The survey will take no more than 12 minutes. Thank you in advance, your input is critical in shaping future efforts.

All responses will remain confidential and be used solely for research and planning purposes.
