City of Aspen launches quality-of-life resident survey
Aspen, CO — The city of Aspen is pleased to announce that it will conduct a comprehensive quality-of-life survey. The survey will initially be available to randomly selected residents, who will receive a mailed invitation to participate. Starting July 1, all residents can complete the survey by visiting the city’s website at www.aspen.gov.
“We’re very excited to conduct this survey,” says Patrick Quick, director of the Strategy and Innovation Office. “This survey will help city staff and City Council identify priorities for the community and improve the quality of life for Aspen residents.”
For the past few weeks, Quick has been working with Polco, an independent consultant and civic engagement company, to develop the survey. The instrument, known as The National Community Survey, allows the city to compare results and benchmark residents’ opinions against other communities nationwide. The survey will include questions about quality of life, important characteristics of the community, services provided by the city of Aspen, and priorities for the future.
Mayor Torre said he hopes all residents will participate in the survey. “The city, every couple of years, checks in with the residents of Aspen to gauge how life is here and how the city is doing in providing a safe, resilient, and vibrant community,” he said. “The survey results will help us make better, informed decisions and prioritize services.”
