Survey for Downtown Farmersville Specific Plan

The City of Farmersville has initiated the preparation of a Specific Plan for downtown Farmersville. A Specific Plan is a comprehensive planning document and regulatory tool and will guide development in downtown through customized land use and design regulations and provide recommendations for improvements to public areas such as streets, sidewalks, landscape planters, etc. 
This planning effort will focus on making the downtown area a more cohesive part of the City to truly function as the heart of the community, with the goal being to strengthen the area for existing future commercial, public and housing development.
Your input will help ensure that our planning efforts take into account the needs and concerns of the community. With that in mind, would you please take a few minutes to answer the following survey?
