Survey for non-students
Public improvements are near final stage in DeKalb’s downtown business district. National Bank and Trust has begun the process of building and moving from their 3rd Street Location to a new, two-story, 8,000 sq.ft. building located next to Walgreen’s at the corner of Lincoln Highway and First Street. The project is expected to be completed by the Summer of 2012.
Yes, private development has begun.
The City of DeKalb is surveying residents, students and shoppers to understand how to better serve their shopping and dining needs. They are attempting to get as many responses as possible for the retail and dining survey.
Survey for college students
According to Derek Hiland, Principal Planner: “The survey’s results will strengthen the City’s demographic profile when targeting specific retailers and restaurants by showing that their customers live and shop in the DeKalb area. The City of DeKalb encourages all members of the community to participate in the City’s efforts to attract the dining and shopping destinations they desire.”
The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. To account for the city’s diverse demographics there is a separate survey for the “general population” and for the “student population.” The links (and surveys) will remain active for about a month.

I would have expected that a survey like this would have been done way before any of the recent reconstruction of downtown would have started. NOW! they are asking people what their trends, likes, and dislikes are of what is offered downtown? Well, putting the cart before the horse seems to be the norm at city hall nowadays so why would this surprise me?
