Salem Residents Survey Now Online Through April 22

Salem, MA - The seventh annual Salem Residents Survey is now online. The survey is available by clicking the “2016 Salem Resident Survey” button at www.salem.com/mayors-office.

A Spanish language version of the survey is also available at www.salem.com/mayors-office. The 2016 residents’ survey will be online until Friday, April 22.

All Salem residents are encouraged to visit the online survey and share their opinions on a range of issues facing the Salem and their view of city services.

“The 2016 survey marks the seventh year this data has been collected,” said Mayor Kimberly Driscoll. “Hearing directly from residents allows us to improve service delivery and focus our public resources on those issues that are of most concern to the people of Salem. Having a number of years’ worth of data now also enables us to take a closer look at trends and changes that are taking place in our community.”

The final data is compiled and included in the Mayor’s annual budget, issued in May. The information provides important performance and outcome measures, which have, in the past, contributed to the City of Salem being one of just a handful of Massachusetts communities to be awarded both a Certificate of Excellence and a Distinguished Budget Award from the Government Finance Officers Association.
