The City of Alexandria and the Alexandria Economic Development Partnership (AEDP) are hosting community conversations about our local economy, and we want to hear your thoughts. Take the survey today to help inform the upcoming Economic Summit.
What challenges do you see? What opportunities should we focus on? The survey will be open through Wednesday, April 16, so share your thoughts today! The survey is available in English, Spanish, Amharic, and Arabic, and your responses are completely confidential.
Plan to Join Us for a Community Conversation April 10
Then, mark your calendar for April 10 and a Countdown to the Summit in-person conversation about economic development, commercial uses, and investment in Alexandria.
From 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Charles Houston Recreation Center (901 Wythe Street), the community will receive information about regional and national economic trends and successful commercial uses post-pandemic with plenty of time provided for Q&A and ideas from those in attendance! No registration is necessary.
The Main Event: Don’t Miss the Economic Summit May 8
Join the City of Alexandria and Alexandria Economic Development Partnership (AEDP) to bring it all together in an important conversation about Alexandria's economic health and outlook on May 8 from 3 - 7 p.m. Location details will be shared as soon as they are available.
At the summit, you’ll hear more about national and regional economic trends, how and why Alexandria pursues economic development, potential challenges and opportunities, and some of the preliminary findings on how to strengthen Alexandria’s economy moving forward. These findings will be based on the community survey, the April 10 session, research and other engagement sessions facilitated by our consulting team, TIP Strategies
