ESCANABA, MI— The City of Escanaba is updating its master plan and wants to know what people in the area think.
Officials are inviting citizens to respond to a 21-question online survey and share their vision. Escanaba Planning and Zoning Administrator Tyler Anthony says the questions relate to what jobs people have; the respondents’ opinion on economic development, housing needs and costs, and city land use; why residents live in Escanaba; and what they want the city’s future to look like.
Anthony says the survey isn’t restricted just to residents.
“We want anybody and everybody to take this survey, whether you’re a resident of town or whether you’re a visitor, if you’re a longtime resident or if you’ve only been here a couple of months, please take the survey. The more information we have, the better.”
Anthony says responses will be shared with a consultant, who will create a draft document to share with the Planning Commission and City Council.
The survey will be available at least through November-1st.
