Saginaw Neighborhood, Housing, and Economic Development Survey

Saginaw is creating a Housing and Economic Development Strategy.
The City of Saginaw is creating a Housing and Economic Development Strategy. This strategy will include an analysis of conditions related to the local economy and housing, develop goals and measurable objectives, and will include an implementation plan for short-, medium-, and long-term actions.

Your input in this survey helps us capture important information on the city's existing economic conditions and housing market.

This survey will take around 15 - 20 minutes to complete. Not all questions need to be answered to submit your responses. There are three parts to this survey; your survey will not be complete until you click "Done" at the end.
