The Diamond City Partnership has launched the 2026 Downtown Wilkes-Barre Perception & Use Survey
May 4, 2026, Wilkes-Barre, PA — The Diamond City Partnership (DCP), Wilkes-Barre’s nonprofit downtown management organization, has launched the 2026 Downtown Wilkes-Barre Perception & Use Survey. The online survey, which measures the public’s experience and usage of Downtown Wilkes-Barre, is open through June of 2026.
The survey can be accessed directly at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DTWB2026survey
The survey can also be found on DCP's website and the organization’s Instagram and Facebook pages.
DCP Executive Director Larry Newman stated, "Every four years, DCP asks for input from the community to help us improve our efforts to create a vibrant and compelling downtown. The survey allows us to document how the public uses and perceives Downtown Wilkes-Barre, and because we’ve been conducting this survey since 2010, we can compare how responses have changed over time. We use the responses to guide DCP’s initiatives, ranging from the on-street work of DCP’s Downtown Ambassador Team, to events and programming, to downtown planning and economic development activities with our public and private partners.”
The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and responses are only reported in the aggregate.
Survey respondents also have the opportunity to enter a drawing to receive a $100 gift card to a downtown Wilkes-Barre restaurant.
