Student Lead Plattsburgh Community Voice Survey

Project Plattsburgh is a student-led initiative aimed at understanding local needs and launching a small, community-rooted business that can provide value to Plattsburgh residents while being financially sustainable. Inspired by entrepreneurial models where individuals start with limited resources, our goal is to test whether a version of the “American Dream” can still be built from the ground up in a small town.

The purpose of the survey is to gather honest, ground-level insights from locals what they feel is missing in the community, what types of businesses they wish existed, and what problems they face in their day-to-day lives. These responses will directly shape the business we build, ensuring that it’s based on real needs rather than assumptions.
