Riverhead Town is seeking public input on a community survey.
“Regardless of whether you have spent a lifetime in Riverhead or have only visited once, the Town Board would like to hear from you,” town officials announced in a press release.
“Please take a moment to tell us why you visit Downtown Riverhead and what would entice you to visit more often,” the board asks.
The survey takes between five and 10 minutes to complete, according to the press release.
The community survey is part of a study currently being undertaken by planning consultant Nelson, Pope and Voorhis to develop a comprehensive approach to revitalize areas between Tanger Outlets and downtown Riverhead. The study is funded by a $567,000 Brownfield Opportunities Area grant from the N.Y. Department of State, in partnership with the Department of Environmental Conservation.
“While taking the survey, you might think about other downtowns you visit which have features that could work in Riverhead – or other ideas such as events, attractions, eating places and shopping that you believe would succeed in our area,” the town press release said.
Survey participants are invited to enter into a drawing to win prizes, including $50 gift cards for restaurants, shops, services, and Tanger Outlets, or tickets to the Long Island Aquarium; just share your email address at the end of the survey to enter.
The survey and the contest for the drawing prizes are administered through NPV and sub- consultant, Sustainable Long Island.
