Press release from the Town of Stoneham: March 25, 2021 The Town of Stoneham is participating in the Massachusetts Local Rapid Recovery Planning (LRRP) Program to help communities develop LRRP Plans for targeted downtowns and commercial districts. The LRRP program provides technical assistance by consultant teams with expertise in effective strategies to stabilize business districts. An initial component of this program includes a survey of owners or managers of business establishments located in Stoneham Center. This includes all establishments including for-profits and non-profits, and even if the business is temporarily closed. We are looking for a response from only one representative per business establishment. This could be the owner, CEO, Executive Director or manager of the local establishment (as appropriate). The boundaries of the targeted district is Main Street from Elm Street to Hancock Street, including all businesses on Franklin and Central within the Central Business District. Special thanks to the Stoneham Chamber of Commerce for their collaboration and assistance with outreach. Your input will help develop a plan that meets the needs of local businesses and inform future policy decisions. The survey will ask a few questions about your satisfaction with your business location, the impacts of COVID on your business and your opinion regarding potential strategies to support your business and improve the commercial district. If you or a representative of your business did not receive the survey link in your inbox this morning, please reach out to Director of Planning & Community Development Erin Wortman at [email protected] for a direct link.
