Launch of our Latest Biennial Westshore Survey 

Your participation in our Resident and Worker survey directly contributes to the ongoing growth and development of the Westshore District. By voicing your opinions, you’re championing the district's interests, member businesses, and the vibrancy of our local community.


The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and covers a variety of topics including transportation, district amenities, community perceptions, and more!


Together, we can collaboratively build an environment that encourages individuals to establish themselves, grow their businesses, and contribute to a thriving local community. Your input will be collected confidentially and without the need for any additional follow-up. To extend our gratitude, participants are welcome to enter a drawing to win one in six $100 gift cards!

If you are in a position to do so, please share the survey link with your colleagues and neighbors: www.ChooseWestshore.com/Survey


Please note, if you both live and work in Westshore, we kindly ask that you take the Resident survey.
