## Background
[MARC ](https://www.uppermonroe.com/hot-topics/monroe-avenue-revitalization-coalition-marc)launched a [Community Input survey](https://www.uppermonroe.com/hot-topics/monroe-avenue-revitalization-coalition-marc/monroe-avenue-community-input-effort) in June. This [survey ](https://www.uppermonroe.com/hot-topics/monroe-avenue-revitalization-coalition-marc/monroe-avenue-community-input-effort)was pushed out far and wide, gaining attention and excitement, not only from you and members of your team or staff, but also the news, local businesses, and, most importantly, residents from all over the Rochester area.
We closed the [survey ](https://www.uppermonroe.com/hot-topics/monroe-avenue-revitalization-coalition-marc/monroe-avenue-community-input-effort)at the end of August and our coalition has been analyzing the results, creating a presentation for the Town Hall. At this event we will go over the survey data and participate in active discussions with representatives, public officials, organizations, news media, and the public about the results, our next steps forward and hear community feedback on potential improvements and goals. It is our hope the meeting will galvanize attendees to sign up for sub-committees we will be forming to tackle these hurdles.
We look forward to engaging with you and those from our communities who attend about these results and continue our solution-driven approach, delivering on our core mission to revitalize Monroe Avenue through a holistic approach that means all who eat, shop, work, live, and play along the Ave can enjoy all it has to offer, feeling safe and welcome.
This effort aligns with UMNA's [Multi-year Monroe Avenue Revitalization Plan](https://www.uppermonroe.com/hot-topics/multi-year-monroe-avenue-revitalization-plan).
