1. Genoa 2017 Community Survey

 
100% of survey complete.
The Genoa Community Development Association, in partnership with the Northeast Nebraska Economic Development District, is starting a Community outreach effort. The first step will be asking for citizen input through Community Surveys. The Community survey will be tabulated by the Genoa Community Development Association to get an overall sense of which upgrades and improvements are most desired within the community. When the Community survey has been tabulated and analyzed, the information will be utilized for community planning and future grant applications for community improvements. The results will help determine what will be priority when making improvements to our community.

Community surveys can be completed by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/genoa2017 or paper surveys can be dropped off at the City of Genoa office at 107 Walnut Street or  mailed to the City of Genoa, PO Box 279, Genoa, NE 68640 prior to October 16, 2017.
