Survey Background
This page links to results of the 2009 Community Survey conducted as part of the Town and City of Platteville Comprehensive Plan Update. The survey was administered in spring of 2009. All property owners and renters in the City and Town of Platteville, WI received a postcard invite with a private household number on it. Residents were instructed to visit the City website (www.platteville.org) where they could enter their household number and begin to take the online survey. For those who preferred to not use an internet survey, or those who could not use one, residents were given a local phone number they could call to receive a paper survey in the mail with return postage included. All University of Wisconsin-Platteville students were invited by email.
The survey was available online for approximately six weeks. A reminder postcard was sent to non-respondents after three weeks. Respondents were entered in a raffle to win $50 at local businesses as an incentive.
Survey questions were created by a sub-committee of the Platteville Town and City Comprehensive Plan Update Committee.
