Destination Wabash Avenue Business and Property Owner Survey

Destination Wabash Ave. is an opportunity for City leaders, business owners, and the public to envision how material, design, and programmatic improvements can impact the functionality and vitality of the Wabash Avenue corridor. This once-in-a-generation project will help ensure that downtown Terre Haute remains an active, comfortable, and safe destination for residents and visitors for years to come.

The effort was initiated by the City of Terre Haute and community partners in the summer of 2023, when they directed staff, along with a team of consultants, to create a Vision Plan for Wabash Avenue. You can learn more about the project, and the various engagement opportunities here: https://www.destinationwabashave.com/.

A critical part of the success of this planning process is the participation of property owners and business owners who are near Wabash Avenue. To ensure that the Destination Wabash Ave. process takes into account your specific needs as a property owner and business, we would like for you to provide information on your current and future needs.

This information will be used to generate overall recommendations for the corridor.
