Survey Results Revealed!
Last fall, Livability Project conducted a poll, both online and in person, to find out what people in our various communities are concerned about, where they like to shop, and where they spend their community time.
We are using the results of this poll to guide our activities, and also to create an online directory of locally produced and "green" products and businesses.
