Community Survey

The Village is once again partnering with ETC Institute, one of the nation’s leading firms in local government research, to conduct a community survey.

*Randomly Selected Households*
A survey will be mailed to a random sample of 500 residents. If you receive one, we encourage you to take the time to complete it. Your input plays a vital role in helping the Village evaluate current services and shape future plans.

*Didn’t Receive a Survey?*
We value feedback from all residents! An online version of the survey is available, giving everyone an opportunity to share their perspectives. Take the survey today [ [link removed] ]. 

Thank you for helping us make informed decisions that reflect the needs and priorities of our community.
