The results of the town of Florence’s Citizen’s Survey are in and they are mostly good news for the town, especially when it comes to safety and recreation.
The survey was commissioned in November 2020, with the town partnering with Polco to conduct the survey. The survey is considered important by town official because it allows residents the opportunity to give feedback aimed at helping the town government ensure that its policies and future programs align with residents’ values and priorities.
According to a staff report, the National Community Survey is benchmarked against more than 600 communities across the country and “will help the town understand how our community is doing relative to other communities. Based on the responses, issues, and trends that emerge from the survey report, council and staff can use the information as a tool to help decide what areas, policies, and goals to focus on moving forward.”
