The Town of Fountain Hills is in the process of developing a new downtown strategy and seeks feedback from residents and businesses to help formulate a strategy for development of the downtown.

Over the next six weeks, town staff will send a series of surveys that will focus on various topics.

The town will launch a 2024 Downtown Strategy Survey on Tuesday, April 2. This survey will be open for approximately two weeks, closing April 12.

This initial survey is focused on the “current state” of the downtown area and acquiring demographic information of those who live, visit or work in this area. The Fountain Hills downtown area is located east of La Montana Drive, west of Saguaro Boulevard, and north of El Lago Boulevard.

Questions will focus on gauging the attributes and challenges that face the downtown area. Types of businesses, special events, and experiential activities are all key concepts that will be included in this survey. It should be noted that this survey is an integral part of the Town’s Downtown Strategy initiative.

The initiative was included in the adopted 2023-2026 Community Economic Development Strategy. The survey results will be analyzed by town staff. Additional surveys will follow, to prepare for the a Downtown Strategy public open house scheduled for Wednesday, May 15.
