Sheridan Comprehensive Plan and Thoroughfare Plan Community Input Survey

The Town of Sheridan recently started a process to create a new comprehensive plan and thoroughfare plan. Together these documents will define a vision for Sheridan's future and help guide growth and investment, preservation initiatives, and quality of life projects. Your input will help town leaders and the planning team understand the opportunities and challenges facing our community. The results of this survey, along with community data, and input from in-person engagement events will inform plan vision, goals, and recommendations.

This survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. We thank you in advance for your input and helping us build a shared vision for Sheridan’s future.
