St. Louis County seeking public input through survey
Questions about quality of life in St. Louis County, which County services residents value most, and how well the County is doing at delivering those services – St. Louis County is seeking public input on these issues and more in a survey that will be mailed out this month. Information collected in the survey will be used to help guide decisions on budgets and policy.
Approximately 2,100 County residents selected at random will receive a survey packet in the mail. Results of the survey, which are considered statistically valid, will be announced later this spring and will be taken into consideration by staff and commissioners as they work on the 2017 budget and long range plans.
St. Louis County partnered with four other counties – Dakota, Olmsted, Scott and Washington – to produce the survey, which is being conducted by the National Research Center, Inc. The County conducted similar surveys in 2007, 2011 and 2013.
Spread across more than 7,000 square miles, St. Louis County is the largest county east of the Mississippi River and is home to more than 200,000 people. For more information the County, its government or the 2016 Residential Survey, visit stlouiscountymn.gov or call (218) 726-2450.
