The Community Vision Survey Report is Now Available
The Local_2020_Visioning_Report is now available. Many thanks to the 170 Jefferson County residents who responded in June and early July 2020 to the survey related to COVID-19. Given the distancing and isolation that has occurred, we wanted to hear how the crisis was affecting the people of our county. The pandemic has brought to light both strengths and weaknesses in our communities and our personal lives. We wanted to give people the opportunity to consider and express their concerns and hopes for the future, and to capture that vision during this unusual time.
The results are fascinating, with some of the top themes emerging including the economy, communities & neighbors, healthcare, environment and energy, housing, community services and resilience, attitudes, government, food, and more.
The report includes an Executive Summary at the beginning for those who want the highlights. Note that the full responses from those individuals that gave permission are provided anonymously in the Appendix.
Note: We initially expected to distribute this report in the fall of 2020, but the primary author fell ill and is still recovering. We apologize for the delay, but hope the results will still be valuable to organizations and individuals throughout the county.
