During the current economic crisis, many of our service providers in coastal Georgia are being called upon to do more with fewer resources. In order to effectively use those community resources on issues that you think urgent and important, we need your help.

We know that your time is valuable, so we have designed this survey so that it should take no more than ten minutes to complete. We will use the results, however, for months and years to come to help our community leaders, government officials, and local nonprofit agencies develop their plans and services.

The University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government will handle the data collection and analysis of this survey. Your responses will remain confidential; no answers will be linked back to you, and no individual answers will be used in the summary report. Please contact Chad Beacham (706-542-6234, beacham@cviog.uga.edu) at the Carl Vinson Institute of Government with any questions or concerns.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to participate. The future of our community – for you, your loved ones, friends and neighbors – depends upon your insights and honest evaluation of what you consider this community’s strengths and weaknesses.
