2013 Capitol Riverfront Resident and Employee Surveys

Posted on April 18, 2013

The Capitol Riverfront BID is conducting its annual surveys in an attempt to have accurate data about the residential and employment populations within the Capitol Riverfront BID. These surveys provide insightful information that the BID uses throughout the year in business and retail attraction efforts. 

Your feedback over the years has been influential in the leasing of 125,000 SF of retail space, including 9 new restaurants, a Harris Teeter grocery store and VIDA Fitness, as well as in the attraction of hundreds of new residents and employees. 
 
Please take 5 minutes to fill out one or both of the surveys today. If you are a resident and live in the Capitol Riverfront, fill out the residential survey here. If you work in the Capitol Riverfront, fill out the employee survey here. If you both live and work in the Capitol Riverfront, we welcome you to fill out both surveys. 
 
By completing the survey, you'll also have a chance to win a Gordon Biersch gift card. We thank you for taking the time to fill out the surveys and helping the BID collect the best information possible to attract new business to the neighborhood.
