ALXnow launched in the fall of 2019 with a simple mission: to serve the entire Alexandria community with original, up-to-the-minute local news coverage. Now we need your help.
No, we’re not asking for donations. Instead, we need as many readers as possible to take a once-a-year, three-minute survey that will help us better understand how we can improve going forward.
Among the feedback we’re seeking:
- What types of stories should we prioritize for additional coverage?
- Where do our readers live and work?
- How can we improve in 2020?
Please click here to take the survey and let us know how we’re doing and how we can do better. Thank you!
Alexandria needs your help determining the best name for a park at 3550 Commonwealth Ave.
Should it be named Unity Park to reflect a place of connection, or Shirley Tyler Park after the first female African American to serve as chair of the Alexandria School Board?
Officials are asking the public to weigh in on the naming of the park in this online survey.
The city bought the half acre site in the Arlandria neighborhood in 2009. After neighborhood volunteers installed two gardens, a walking path and park benches, landscape architect Rhodeside and Harwell developed a site plan for a park that’s mostly trees and open green space, with some interactive features like game tables and a tricycle track.
The survey will remain open through March 3.
