Community Survey Now Open

In early 2025, we began the process of updating the DMC Development Plan by looking back at the first 10 years of progress, milestones, and lessons learned. You can explore that reflection here: Ten-Year Milestone Overview.

Now, we’re entering the next phase: gathering feedback to hear your thoughts about the future work of the DMC initiative.

We’ve structured a survey organized around three principles:

  • Health in Design – How public spaces and infrastructure support well-being
  • Health as an Attractor – What makes Rochester a place where people and talent want to be
  • Health as a Growth Engine – How growth can benefit more people and support a strong regional economy

Your perspective will help us better understand how these principles are felt across Rochester today—and where there may be room to go deeper. The survey is open to anyone who lives, works, or spends time in Rochester.

There will be more opportunities to engage in the months ahead, including events and updates as the plan takes shape. To stay informed, sign up for the DMC newsletter and be the first to hear about what’s next.
