WILMINGTON — The City of Wilmington has its biennial community survey live and wants to hear back from residents on how they’d rate the quality of life in town and the city’s varied departments.
The goal of the survey is to gauge how residents feel their tax dollars are being spent and where work needs improvement. It consists of a dozen or so questions regarding priorities of arts and culture, streets and traffic, including bike paths and signal timing, as well as stormwater management and public safety.
Questions include whether residents feel fire and police have top-notch response times, for instance, or if crime prevention needs more attention. It also asks about growth planning, affordable housing, the employment landscape, and has surveyors rate the top three most concerning challenges the city faces (see picture above).
The survey is open here and will be used to help city administration and leaders determine where they should be focusing their efforts when it comes to needs from residents.
