Tug Hill Commission Community Connectedness Survey
Launched
Watertown, NY – Are residents moving
out of your community? Do boards and community groups have difficulty finding
volunteers? Do you feel connected to other people in your community and Tug
Hill?
Research shows that
communities are at their best when residents feel connected to each other and
feel invested in each other’s welfare. The Tug Hill Commission, a regional task
force, and the University of Albany invite Tug Hill residents, homeowners and visitors to complete a short survey at tinyurl.com/tughillcommunity.
The findings from this survey can benefit our community members by
identifying any gaps that prevent a strong sense of belonging. The findings
will be shared publicly and will inform efforts to improve how residents, homeowners
and visitors feel about the community.
It is important that
we hear from people who feel well-connected and from those who do not; even
if some might have a strong support system within the Tug Hill region, others
may not and may contemplate leaving Tug Hill. This survey aims to answer the
questions “what makes some people stay in the region” and “what makes
others leave.” Respondents will have the chance to win a $50 gift card to one
of two Tug Hill restaurants. Responses are anonymous and everyone’s
identity is protected. To take the survey, visit tinyurl.com/tughillcommunity.
Please reach out to Katie Malinowski, katie@tughill.org
or 315-785-2380, with any questions.
