CITY OF BEAVERTON LAUNCHES COMMUNITY SURVEY
News Release from City of Beaverton
Posted on FlashAlert: May 15th, 2014 9:09 AM
The City of Beaverton has launched an online survey in support of the "What's Next, Beaverton?" project, an interactive web-based conversation about Beaverton's future. The survey asks participants to share their priorities for Beaverton, their ideas for improving the city, and their suggestions for what the Mayor and City Council should focus on in the coming years.
"If you care about Beaverton and want to help shape the next steps for our city, please take this survey," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "In Beaverton, we listen to our residents and we value their input to help set the course for city decisions for years to come. Thank you for your time!"
The survey is available at www.BeavertonOregon.gov through Friday, June 6.
The city's Visioning Advisory Committee (VAC) is currently gathering public input to help inform its five-year update to the Community Vision program as well as its Comprehensive Plan.
"This survey is just one of the many ways the VAC is reaching out to the public this year," said Holly Thompson, program manager. "Our goal is to beat our previous outreach record and connect with more than 5,000 people in Beaverton. We need your help to make that happen."
"The Beaverton Community Vision has made a tremendous difference in the work that the city does," said Jaann Hoisington, committee chair. "The information the public shares with us through this process has significant influence. When you look at what the city's focus has shifted to in the past five years, you can see the absolute alignment with the community values expressed through the community vision."
