I saw that the City of Norfolk surveyed residents about their opinions about city services. When was this done and why wasn’t I asked my opinion?

ETC Institute administered a resident survey for the City of Norfolk, VA during the fall of 2022. The survey was mailed to households across the city using a data base to ensure the sample was representative of our diverse population. After the mailed survey was completed, the city made copies of the same survey available on-line and in locations across the city to allow every resident who wished to do so to complete the survey. This opportunity was shared with residents through  the city web site, news stories and outreach in community facilities.
