Take the Post-Summit Survey
On May 8, the City of Alexandria and the Alexandria Economic Development Partnership hosted the Alexandria Economic Summit—a day of insight, community conversation, and big ideas for what’s next for Alexandria’s economy.
Whether you joined us in person or are just tuning in, this short survey (10-15 minutes) is designed to:
- Gather feedback on the Summit’s content and overall impact
- Capture ideas from those who were unable to attend or needed to leave early
- Provide space for additional input from those who participated
Your insights will be combined with what we’ve heard so far to refine and finalize the framework that will guide Alexandria’s economic strategy.
Survey responses are due by Friday, June 6, at 5 p.m.
If you prefer communication in another language, free interpretation and translation services are available to you. Please email LanguageAccess@alexandriava.gov or call 703.746.3960.
