PALM VALLEY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

2018 Resident Survey

We need to hear from you!

The Palm Valley Community Association (PVCA) would like to know what you believe are the greatest opportunities to enhance the quality of life in Palm Valley, and what are the greatest challenges. Your answers will help us prioritize our efforts over the coming year.

The survey should only take five minutes, and your answers are anonymous unless you wish to leave your contact information. You can edit your responses until the survey is closed on Saturday, February 17. Results will be shared at our next community meeting and on our website at palmvalleycommunity.org.

If you have any questions about the survey, please email us at PalmValleyFla@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and participation.
