ALLEGAN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Allegan County officials and several non-profit partner agencies have hired a national survey organization to gauge residents’ views on the state of the county and services available to residents.
The County and partner agencies are mailing survey forms using the services of The National Research Center, Inc. which has conducted similar surveys for other local governments across the nation, including Jackson County in Michigan.
The survey became available online to County residents on July 18, 2022.
The survey asks residents to answer questions about the quality of life in Allegan County, local policies, demographics, rating of local services, and residents’ use of services. The information gathered will be used to help partner agencies identify how to best use the resources provided to the county’s residents in future planning.
All residents are invited to complete the online survey, which is open to the public through August 1.
In addition, 2,800 households were mailed the survey and are encouraged to respond using the information provided in the mailing. The households were chosen based on a representative sample of Allegan County’s population.
Partner agencies involved with the project include United Way, Allegan County Community Action, the Allegan Area Educational Services Agency, and OnPoint, formally Allegan County Community Mental Health.
The survey is available online by visiting: https://polco.us/allegan22open.
Residents with questions about the survey may call 269-686-5150.
