Our Salem Scenario Survey

We have developed four options – or scenarios – for how Salem could grow based on input from this Salem community.

Scenarios help us “test drive” future land use planning options for a community. Each scenario is different. Each represents different ideas to consider. We are not asking that you choose one as the vision for the future. Instead, what do you like and dislike about each one?

Please answer the following questions, and help us shape the vision for Salem’s future.
