Oak Park Resident Survey

The following survey is being conducted by the Giffels Webster team for Oak Park. Responses will help the development of market opportunities for residential and business attraction and retention. The focus of the survey is on current and future housing and commercial spending. Your input is extremely valuable to us. All people who have an interest in the future of Oak Park are encouraged to complete the survey.

The survey is strictly confidential. You are not asked to provide, nor do we have any way of identifying, your name, address, or other specific information for the person or resident responding to the questionnaire.

Giffels Webster retained The Chesapeake Group to conduct the survey and economic assessment.

Please take a few minutes to fill out the questionnaire. If you are uncomfortable answering any question, feel free to leave it unanswered and move on to the next one.

Thank you in advance for helping in this effort.
