Chengwatana Township  Survey

Chengwatana Township is in the process of developing its own Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance. This survey is intended to give citizens an opportunity to provide comments, ideas, and raise issues that the Town should consider as it develops its planning documents.

The survey is not intended to serve as a statistically valid sample - it is instead a forum for identifying topics that may be addressed in the Plan or the Town's related ordinances. Your responses are anonymous. Results will be reported as we proceed through the planning process. Thanks for filling it out, and keep an eye on the Town's website for additional opportunities to participate in this project!
