Community Surveys
2019 community survey underway in February and March
Since 2011, the Town has commissioned a resident and business survey in each odd-numbered year.For 2019's survey, the Town will be partnering with Northwest Research Group.
The firm's work will include a scientific study, in which randomly selected households will be invited to participate, as well as a supplemental survey through which the entire community can provide feedback.
The scientific survey will be fielded through mid-March, with the supplemental survey immediately following. Results are expected to be presented to Town Council in April.
2017 survey results
Northwest Research Group also conducted the Town's 2017 community survey. Some key findings of that study were:
- The Town overall remains a very strong 4-Star community on Northwest Research Group’s 5-Star rating system
- The survey covered 36 performance measures, and 31 of those received an above-average rating (6 or higher on a 0-10 scale)
- Ratings related to the direction the Town is headed indicate continued concerns over growth; ensuring well-planned, high-quality new development should continue as an area of focus

Those conversations occurred in June and July 2017. Read the report provided to Town Council regarding that process.
