Pinellas County seeks residents’ input with quality-of-life survey

Pinellas County officials are asking residents to participate in a comprehensive quality of life survey starting Thursday.

The National Community Survey gauges residents’ sentiment on various dimensions of community life, including public safety, local government services, infrastructure, economy and quality of life. It provides local governments with an in-depth understanding of how their residents perceive their community and its governance.

Residents can take the survey by visiting the County’s website. It will be available online in English and Spanish until April 10.

“The National Community Survey uses your feedback to help our Board and County staff identify priorities that will improve the quality of life in Pinellas County,” said Commission Chair Brian Scott.

This survey is the only resident survey endorsed by the International City/County Management Association and the National League of Cities. Communities using this tool have reported it helps improve service delivery, strengthens communications with community stakeholders and helps leaders identify clear priorities for use in strategic planning and budget setting.

“If you live or work in Pinellas County, we want to hear from you as we map out our community’s future,” Scott said. Learn more by visiting pinellas.gov/national-community-survey.
