Survey Results

The results are in! Thanks to everyone who filled out our survey. We got some great responses, and we’ve been using your input to inform the plan that we’re working on for the October 18th meeting.

We collected 116 survey responses. Of the people who took the survey, approximately half were parents with children at home and the other half were singles or empty nesters. The average survey respondent has lived in Woodstock for over 9 years.
