Ford City Comprehensive Plan Survey

A plan is being developed to make Ford City a better place for people to live in, move to, and visit. The planning process is being conducted in partnership with Fourth Economy Consulting, a firm from Pittsburgh. More information is available on the Ford City website. This survey will help determine priorities for the planning effort; we are interested in hearing the opinions of residents, former residents and visitors! 

In this survey, there are a couple different types of questions:
  • Optional questions are helpful for the survey but more personal. It is your choice to answer.
  • Small text boxes can be answered with 1 to 10 words.
This survey will ask about your experience in living or visiting the Ford City area and we will use it to figure out what to improve.  Your information will not be used for any other purpose or sold.
