Downtown Lansing/REO Town Supermarket Survey

Question Title

This survey is designed to assess current supermarket shopping habits and consumer preferences of residents in the vicinity of Downtown/REO Town Lansing.

Please provide as much detail as possible.

Results will be used to determine feasibility of (and potentially recruit) a supermarket to the Downtown/ REO Town area.

The survey consists of 12 questions and should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

Your participation is voluntary, and all responses are confidential.

The zones in question #2 are potential development areas, not boundaries for who can take the survey. Residents who live in neighborhoods around these zones are encouraged to respond as well.

Your zip code (or more specifically your address, if you choose to give it) will inform us about interest within neighborhoods that border Downtown/REO Town.

There is space at the end of the survey to provide your contact information if you would like to remain involved with the project.

Thank you for your interest in Downtown/REO Town, your input is greatly appreciated!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the project coordinator at (517) 374-5700 or survey@southlansing.org.
