Pierce County residents are being asked to participate in a countywide survey to be used in an updated housing study that is being completed by Pierce County Economic Development with help from Bobbi Pettit and Lowell Schroeder of FIVE RULE Rural Planning.
A separate survey has also been developed for the county’s employers to provide any additional information as it relates to current and future employees having access to adequate housing.
The resident survey can be accessed at: homeinpiercecounty.com
The employer survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PCEMPLOYERS
The survey is available online until December 6, 2024. A paper copy of the survey is also available and will be accessible at the village or city office in each participating community: Hadar, Pierce, Plainview, and Osmond.
