Wilsonville Community Survey Now Online

The City of Wilsonville invites residents to participate in the 2016 Wilsonville Community Survey that is designed to provide a baseline of how City government is serving residents, to gauge perceptions of Wilsonville, and to make comparisons with peer cities.

All residents of Wilsonville are eligible to participate through July 5 online at www.n-r-c.com/survey/wilsonvillesurvey.htm. 

Mayor Tim Knapp said, “Wilsonville is a great community, and the survey results help local leaders create a better city responsive to residents’ needs. I encourage everyone living in Wilsonville to take the survey and help us chart our community’s future.” 

The survey, which is conducted every other year, is administered by the National Research Center of Boulder, Colorado, and includes questions about quality of life in the community, local policies, demographics, ratings of local government services and resident use of services.
