The Village of Sea Cliff

Sea Cliff Long Range Survey

Our Community is not the same place it was 50 years ago; nor will it be the same place 50 years from now. The Village of Sea Cliff is an exciting and vital community. Like other communities all over the country, Sea Cliff must take active, thoughtful steps to improve our quality of life. The path to accomplish this goal involves planning, preserving and fostering participation.

Please complete the survey by April 1, 2020.

The demographic questions at the end of the survey are optional, but nonetheless useful, to discussion of the survey results

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Elena Villafane at evillafane@seacliff-ny.gov. Thank you for taking the time to provide your input regarding our community's long-range planning!
