Survey guaging Enthusiam & Need for a Downtown Area Supermarket

Will downtown Tampa soon have a supermarket?

DOWNTOWN & YBOR CITY - The Tampa Downtown Partnership (TDP) is conducting a survey to solicit input in support of a future grocery store to serve the people of downtown Tampa and Ybor City. Residents of – and employees in – these and their nearby neighborhoods are encouraged to complete the survey and ask their friends, neighbors and co-workers to do the same.

Paul Ayres, TDP’s director of marketing and business development, and Bob McDonaugh, the city's Downtown/Channel District community redevelopment area manager, will report the survey results at the Ybor City Development Corporation’s Development Committee meeting, March 24, 2010.

There are two separate surveys, one for employees in the aforementioned neighborhoods, and one for their residents. (Those people who work and reside in and near these areas are welcome to fill out both.)

Area Employees: www.TampaRG.com/employee

Area Residents: www.TampaRG.com/resident

Survey participants’ information will be entered into a drawing for prizes that include grocery store, restaurant and retail store gift cards, as well as vouchers for admission into select, downtown entertainment venues.
