Staunton Plaza Community Survey

Welcome! As you probably know, the Town of Hurt purchased the Staunton Plaza with plans to stabilize and modernize the property, attract new business and visitors, and make it a true community gathering space. We’re excited to hear from you about its potential.

We envision a revitalized community space that serves everyone, offering services, resources, and experiences that enhance our quality of life. Whether you’re hoping for community gathering spaces, innovative work areas, family-friendly features, or new retail options, we’d love to get your input.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share your ideas. Your responses will help shape a vibrant, inclusive space that meets the needs and dreams of our community. Thank you for your participation!
