Special Update for Adams Morgan Businesses

Important: Survey for Nightlife Businesses

The Mayor’s Office on Nightlife and Culture is conducting a study on the Economic Impact of DC Nightlife. This is the first time a study of this scope has been undertaken. Better defining the scale and impact of DC’s night time economy will help tell a compelling story of the value these businesses bring in terms of jobs, tax revenues and vibrancy. It will also help city stakeholders better-align resources to manage its impact in more constructive and effective ways. In addition to analyzing publicly available data, researchers are asking members of the restaurant, bar, club, theater and gallery communities to complete this survey .

The survey will only take 5 or 10 minutes to fill out. It is anonymous and when it comes to your business operations only asks you to estimate the percentage of your workforce employed and revenues generated after 5PM and after 10PM. In addition, it asks you to share feedback that will help the Mayors Office of Nightlife and Culture develop a strategic plan aligned to cross cutting needs within the city. Your input on this will be invaluable in terms of helping this new agency better serve you.

The timeframe for this study is very short -- the deadline is Tuesday, January 14 . Your voice and input is incredibly important. Please take a few moments to fill it out .
