Dillon Community Planning Survey

Thank you for taking a few minutes to answer this survey. Your answers will help the City Council and Planning Board better understand how you feel about the future of our community. The City has decided to revise and update its 2016 Growth Policy to reflect current community issues and review and set new goals and objectives. Community input is a key component to developing the Growth Policy and your answers will help in forming a Policy that meets the goals of the community. Call Jeremy Fadness at (406) 443-3962 if you have any questions, and please, only one response per person. All surveys should be completed and submitted no later than February 14, 2025.
