The 2012 WRPCO Community Concerns Survey
or download and print a hard copy by clicking on the "2012 Community Concerns Survey Form" at the bottom of the page. Completed hard copies may be mailed to WRPCO PO BOX 59586, Chicago, IL 60659. Hard copies will also be placed at locations around the community.
Final scored 2011 Community Concerns Survey results presented in an easy-to-read format are posted below. We expect to have an update for 2012 shortly. Currently, as presented at the March 8th meeting, the number of completed surveys completed is inadequate and the demographics so far indicate that the sample is not sufficiently representative of the community. We are urging residents to complete more surveys.
Contact WRPCO info@wrpco.org for more details.
