About DNA’s 2022 Community Survey:
DNA’s 2022 Community Survey on Downtown Natchez was conducted by Dr. Rachael Carter of MSU’s Center for Government and Community Development and had 500 respondents. The results will feed into a high-level action plan for DNA to help facilitate the city’s Downtown Master Plan priorities and spur downtown revitalization.
Find out how you rated these Downtown Master Plan Priorities?
• Preservation and development of the Bluff, Arts District, Triangle and Key Buildings?
• Downtown Mobility: traffic, parking, walkability, bike routes, wayfinding?
• Downtown Residential: new housing, upper floor housing, playgrounds, recreation?
• Business Development: improved vacancy rate, marketing downtown as a small business destination, developing incentives for public arts?
