The City of Roseburg has emailed a survey to downtown business owners to gather information about a possible new downtown business organization.

The City release said it went to owners of businesses that are primarily in the downtown core. Business owners’ input is being sought as officials prepare to put out a request for proposals from candidates who may be interested in running an organization to replace the Downtown Roseburg Association, which recently closed.

The survey includes questions about whether businesses want a new downtown business organization, what services would be expected, business owners’ level of participation and willingness to pay a membership fee, funding options and more. The deadline for turning in the survey is May 6th.

Any downtown business or property owner who didn’t receive a survey and would like to get a copy, should send an email to: shurt@cityofroseburg.org.

The downtown business contact list may also be used to email other information such as downtown-related press releases to business owners.
