Downtown businessowner posts survey

Dear Editor:

As an avid follower of your site, I wanted to see if you could help me with an idea.

I created a survey for downtown business owners to express their feelings on certain issues with the city. I know you have addressed these in the past so I thought you might be able to help get the word out about the survey.

Click Here for the link so you can check it out.

If you think it is a good idea and know some people at the chamber maybe you could pass it on to them.

The idea is to share the results with the city at their meeting without having the businesses fear retribution.

My wife and I run a business in St. Augustine and I was kind of curious to see if other business owners face the same problems with the city as we do.

I got the idea while walking on St. George Street and seeing how many of the people there were homeless/groups of teenagers.

I know that tourists will not continue to come if they have a negative experience here. We often hear from clients about both of these groups ruining their experience here.

If you have time, I would be grateful for any help/ideas you have.

Thanks for your time.
