2023 Community News Survey

Thank you for participating in our survey. This survey comes from the Highland Township Community Round Table, a group of township leaders and residents, tasked with creating efficient communication and helping to shape the future of Highland Township.

Since we no longer have a local newspaper, we'd like to ask residents about their preferences for learning more about their community.  These responses will be used to guide the committee in addressing the need for a community news organization.  We appreciate your help with gathering this information and sharing this survey with neighbors and friends.  This survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete!

Question Title

* 13. In order to bring local news back to Highland, there will need to be a lot of local support in the form of volunteers helping to make it happen.   All different kinds of skill sets could be helpful - things like  grant writing, bookkeeping, sales, graphics, website development, administration, social media, and story writing.   Essentially, anyone who has some time and enthusiasm about local news could play a part!

Would you be interested in volunteering to assist with creating and/or operating a community news program in Highland?
