The community of Morris seeks your help in completing a community image survey of your perceptions of the City of Morris (the entire community, including downtown). The information that you provide will be used to help the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, the City of Morris, and their local partners to promote Morris' many advantages to potential investors and new residents. This survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete. Your answers will be completely anonymous, and any contact information that you choose to provide will not be shared with any entity. This survey will be open until January 29, 2021--we appreciate your participation!
