We have completed our fourth Annual Community Value Survey, thank you for participating and making your voice count! This tool is very important to our City and provides important information that will be shared with elected and appointed representatives from our community. 

This year we collected over 500 responses, but in future years we would like to see more civic participation in government. In a municipality of 22,660 residents, it is critically important that you provide your input and feedback to the elected officials and staff. We are all here working in tandem to ensure a better and brighter future for Haines City. 

Over the next month, Staff will assemble this data and run trend and regression analyses for the purpose of providing a holistic picture of what the survey respondents' value, and what should be areas of focus for the organization. Once this data is compiled and analyzed, it will be furnished to you all for inspection and discussion; regardless of the specifics of your opinions and perspectives, we value your input and feedback in this process. 

Local government is the government closest to the people whom it serves, and we here in Haines City are solely committed to providing a better community for our existing residents, our business community and future residents. 

In closing, please inquire about volunteering and serving on an advisory board. We need your support and continued involvement. Remember, things get solved when you get involved.
