The City of John Day wants to know what you love about this community now and what you hope for its future. This survey will ask you to think about John Day in the present and the future. To do that, first we will ask what you feel are the community’s current strengths and challenges. Then, we will ask you to imagine life in John Day in the year 2045 and share, what does it look like? Sound like? Feel like?

We want to know: What do you hope for John Day’s thriving future?

This information will be used to develop a city-wide Community Vision. From the input gathered in this process, broad and descriptive vision statements will be developed to define the ideal John Day in 2045. The vision statements will help guide the City and other partners towards the community’s shared goals for John Day. Your survey responses will be collected by Jensen Strategies, an Oregon based local government consulting firm, on behalf of the City of John Day. Responses will be incorporated into summary themes or quotes, but will not individually identify anyone.
