What Kind of Restaurant Does Owatonna Need? Take a Survey

The Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism (OACCT) invites you out to eat. And people seem ready to go. But at what kind of restaurant? The chamber is taking a survey through the end of May on the type of restaurant residents would like to see come to town. Over 800 people have already taken the survey.

In their weekly Tuesday Talk e-newsletter, OACCT states, "As part of downtown redevelopment, we foresee one of more restaurants securing space in Owatonna soon. We need your input to help determine which kind of establishment and cuisine is desired by the community."
