8/18/14 - Officials are encouraging community members take part in an online survey they feel will ultimately help provide a better experience for those who live, work, or visit downtown Howell. The Howell Main Street Downtown Development Authority is working on a new strategic plan and seeking community input through an online survey. Director Cathleen Edgerly tells WHMI the hope is to gain a wide collection of community input on ideas and things people want to see, so they can coordinate that with goal setting and create a five-year plan to match the vision. A lot of the questions dig deeper into ideas, strengths, weaknesses and opportunities already mentioned throughout strategic planning efforts that kicked off at the end of July. Ultimately, Edgerly says the results will help them offer better events, recruit new businesses and provide a better all-around environment and experience in downtown Howell. The survey takes roughly 15 minutes and participation is voluntary and confidential. However, those who choose to provide contact information are automatically entered to win a gift certificate to various downtown Howell establishments. The drawing will be held on September 2nd and a link to the survey is available below. (JM)
