"Understanding the needs of your community is crucial to ensuring resident satisfaction, high livability standards and planning for the future."
At last night's board meeting, the Village of Schaumburg released the latest National Citizen Survey Results for 2018. This is the 3rd time the village has conducted the NCS with the results used for strategic planning for Schaumburg's future.
The survey was distributed to 1,527 residents throughout the village and resulted in high marks for quality of life, as a place to raise a family and feeling safe in their neighborhoods. We have a lot to be proud of here in Schaumburg and it shows!
