The Village launched its first National Citizen Survey in April, 2017. The National Citizen Survey is the premier survey service from the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and National Research Center, Inc. Survey questions are intended to measure eight aspects of community livability: community engagement, education and enrichment, recreation and wellness, economy, built environment, natural environment, safety and mobility. Several questions also seek resident's opinions on future priorities for the Village. The survey also includes a series of demographic questions.
