Your Community. Your Take. Three Minutes.
Vol. III, No. 272 -- Our March Community Survey is Ready For our Readers
Every other month, Civic Capacity publishes a community sentiment survey. No tricks, no gotchas — just a straightforward read on how residents feel about where their hometowns are headed.
This is the March edition.
The goal has always been simple. A single snapshot of community sentiment doesn’t tell you much. A consistent record of it over time tells you a great deal. Are residents more optimistic than they were six months ago? Less confident in local leadership? More concerned about development, infrastructure, public safety? The survey captures that drift before anyone in City Hall is ready to talk about it.
This publication will publish the results in April with full analysis of what the data shows and where the trends are pointing. No spin. Just what residents actually said.
March is a good time to take stock. Public works projects are ramping up across the county — including a new roundabout at the Staunton, Adams and Riverside intersection near Hobart Arena. Budget decisions made over the winter are starting to take shape in the real world. This is the moment to measure how residents feel about what’s coming, not just what’s already done.
It takes three minutes. It matters more than that.
We’ll take responses from any community in our coverage area. Results will be published by community, provided we receive enough responses to make the data meaningful.
