New Canaan Residents Asked To Participate In 'Priorities' Survey

NEW CANAAN, CT — Town officials are launching an online and telephone community survey on Tuesday to gather information on New Canaan residents' "feedback on town programs, services and priorities."

The survey, conducted by Glastonbury-based market research firm GreatBlue Research, Inc., will run from the 7th through Jan. 28th.

"This survey will be important in helping the town government gain a better understanding of the priorities of its residents and will act as a guide in making decisions that best reflect the goals and needs of its population," officials said in a statement.

A random sample of residents in New Canaan will be called and the name of the firm ("GreatBlue") will show up on the caller ID should you have caller ID technology. If you do not have this technology, the phone number that appears will be 860-740-4000, or a variation of that (i.e., 860-740-4005, -4006 or -4007), according to officials.

Residents will receive information about the online survey by email blast and news media coverage, officials added. "We encourage residents to participate in the telephone and online surveys."
