Economic Development Survey

This survey will serve three very important roles in developing an economic development strategy for the Town of Sodus its Villages and Hamlets. First, it will help identify strengths and weaknesses in the community. Second, the survey will help set priorities for economic development. Third, soliciting opinions from a cross section of the community will inform them of the economic development effort and hopefully gain their support if they feel that they have had the opportunity to voice their opinions.

1 is a quality of life survey to identify strengths, concerns, possible goals, and influential leaders.
2 is a survey, “What is Good about Your Community,” analyzing items that may be important to our area. Items can be ranked good, fair, or poor by the survey respondents.
