Farmington Seeks Input On Town's Future

FARMINGTON, CT — Farmington residents have until Friday, Nov. 20, to share their opinions about the town's future through a communitywide survey designed to help guide long-term planning and municipal priorities.

The Town of Farmington is encouraging residents to participate in the survey, which will help inform updates to the town's Plan of Conservation and Development and the Town Council's Strategic Plan.

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.

What The Survey Covers

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.
• Recreation and open space: Parks, recreational opportunities and preservation of open spaces.
• Natural and historic resources: Conservation and protection of Farmington's natural environment and historic assets.
• Transportation: Transportation needs and improvements.
• Preparing for the future: Long-term priorities and planning for the town's changing needs.

The responses will contribute to the town's updated Plan of Conservation and Development, a long-range planning document addressing land use, conservation, and community development.

They will also help inform the Town Council's Strategic Plan, which establishes priorities for municipal government.
