And the Survey Says...

Community Outreach Survey

Downtown Tucson Partnership (DTP) is committed to creating and maintaining a vibrant, safe and welcoming downtown. The health and safety of downtown is our #1 priority. Our organization in partnership with Pima County Back-to-Business (PCB2B), downtown restaurants, retail and cultural institutions are taking extra steps to ensure businesses and public spaces are clean and safe for the community.

As such we conducted a Community Outreach Survey to better understand how the public would like to engage with public spaces and local businesses. We received 1,434 responses hailing from 35 different zip codes. The survey results are being shared with downtown businesses, community leaders and elected officials to implement policies and measures to guide us through a safe and economically viable reopening of Downtown Tucson.

Outdoor Café Survey

Downtown restaurants, bars and breweries were surveyed to help us quantify the need and impact of temporarily expanding restaurant seating areas onto sidewalks, parking spaces, parking lots, streets, alleys and other public spaces to maximize social distancing in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The results from this survey helped us advocate and implement necessary programs for downtown businesses.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Now Available

Pima County officials realize that some businesses may need support in acquiring non-medical PPE (face masks, sanitizer, and gloves) for employees until supply chains stabilize. With that, Pima County and Downtown Tucson Partnership will begin distributing PPE to local downtown businesses.

All businesses are encouraged to first source and procure PPE on their own. This service is designed to serve as an alternate backstop for employers, and is only available to businesses with less than 50 employees.

A request form must be completed by June 25 to obtain a supply of non-medical PPE. Click here (PDF) for more information.
