Community Engagement #2

Community Engagement Survey #2

Community Engagement is the process of working collaboratively with and through groups of people to address issues affecting the well-being of those people.

Through a generous grant from the St. David’s Foundation, the City of Smithville hired a Community Engagement Coordinator who is working on several strategies to ensure all of our community members feel comfortable in participating in civic life. Our City continues to work on ways to improve its connections with community members and to increase opportunities for engagement with local government departments and activities.
