Community Survey

The Town of Firestone has partnered with Polco to conduct a National Community Survey. All households within Firestone received a survey invitation in the mail, inviting them to participate in this survey online or inviting them to mail back an actual paper survey. The survey collection occurred between early June and mid-July of 2023.

The survey results will be a powerful tool to help guide policy direction for the Firestone Board of Trustees and help prioritize projects within the Town. In addition, the Town looks forward to continuing to use this platform to ask follow-up questions and engage with the public.
