Submit your feedback through the Community Survey
We've partnered with Polco, a national firm, to conduct a Community Survey. The 21-year-old survey of roughly 140 community-related questions will be compared to results from more than 400 other communities in more than 40 states.  

Your participation will help us to gauge satisfaction levels on a variety of topics. In September, the survey was sent to a random sampling of 3,200 households as selected through USPS lists. Those households received a letter in the mail asking them to complete the survey. 

Complete the survey.
