A recent evaluation of Hampton’s downtown district will provide invaluable information for future improvements and possible business expansion, according to the study’s coordinators.

     Main Street Iowa, a statewide organization dedicated to economic development, conducted a market analysis in downtown Hampton from late spring until August. A group of 13 volunteers logged more than 600 hours handing out surveys and collecting 552 responses from businesses and shoppers, which were then used in a thorough report detailing the local business climate.

    The report highlighted things people enjoy about Hampton’s Main Street as well as areas of concern. The data will be used as a business recruiting tool and as a guide for improvement, according to Hampton Main Street Coordinator Kristina Raisch.
