The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, according to town officials.

Reminder postcards are being mailed to residents encouraging participation before the deadline.

The town is seeking feedback about what residents value in Farmington today and what they envision for the community over the next five, 10, and 20 years.

Officials said the responses could help shape future decisions about municipal services, development and how taxpayer dollars are spent.

The survey asks residents to share their priorities in several areas, including:

• Town services and facilities: Municipal programs, public services and community facilities.
• Housing and economic development: Housing needs, business growth and development priorities.
