The Center can assist local governments in administering community surveys. These surveys are generally community needs assessment surveys that examine residents' opinions and attitudes about service delivery and life in their particular community.
Some surveys focus more specifically on a particular issue affecting a community.
The Center has been assisting Oxford Township with a community survey. A project team was assembled that included Undergraduate Research Assistants and Exchange Associates. The purpose of the survey was to provide Township officials with information to address a variety of governance issues in the Township and to establish certain benchmark data for Township services. The survey instrument and the final report can be found below.
