Transylvania 2050 Community Snapshot Survey
Transylvania County is launching a comprehensive community survey to gather input on its long-term Transylvania 2050 Comprehensive Plan Update. Residents are encouraged to share their ideas, priorities, and concerns to help shape the future of our community. The survey is open to all and covers different facets of the community such as infrastructure, public safety, housing, transportation and economic development.
“The plan process is an opportunity to evaluate our community strengths and weaknesses and envision what Transylvania as a whole could be in the future. Realizing that vision will take the work of local and state government working alongside nonprofits and the private sector to bring the tools each sector has together, “ County Commission Chair Jason Chappell said.
Transylvania County began its 2050 Update last year, with a series of Kick-off Community Events held throughout the community. Feedback gathered from those events helped the Planning Board and staff build the Community Snapshot Survey. The survey explores present community elements and asks the community to envision Transylvania in the future, in the year 2050.
“Community feedback is vital to ensure a responsive plan that is grounded in the experiences of those invested in our community.” Transylvania County Transportation, Planning & Community Development Director, Jeff Adams, said, “the previous Comprehensive Plan, drafted in 2015, had tremendous input from the community and our Kick-off Community Events continued that success. We hope this survey does the same and helps the County set a successful course for the future.”
The feedback from the Kick-off Community Events and other materials related to the 2050 Comprehensive Plan Update can be found at the Transylvania County website.
The Community Snapshot Survey is available online and in paper format through July 31st. Visit https://www.transylvaniacounty.org/2050CommunitySurvey to participate and make your voice heard or click on the link below. Together, we can build a better tomorrow.
