Community Survey

Jefferson County is growing, and your Mayor and Board of Commissioners want citizens’ input on managing this growth. The Mayor and Commissioners are undertaking a community engagement effort to obtain this input. The project aims to receive feedback on how Jefferson County’s agricultural lands, neighborhoods, parks, and businesses can be developed and preserved over the next ten years.

This webpage will provide information about the community engagement effort, a schedule of meetings and other events at which citizens can give input, information about Jefferson County, and a link to a survey designed to solicit the input of Jefferson County citizens.
