The Town Council will have an earlier opportunity to receive the
survey report at its Council meeting on Monday, Feb. 12. The report will
review results from a Town of Chapel Hill Community Survey conducted
last fall by ETC Institute, a professional market research firm based in
the Kansas City area. ETC has administered surveys in more than 300
cities and counties across the United States.
"Conducting this survey was one of the Town Council's early
established goals as a
means to help us understand our residents' perception of the services
the Town provides," said Town Manager Roger L. Stancil. "This biennial
survey helps us understand what we are doing better and where we need to
improve. It is one of the tools we use in establishing budget
priorities and making policy decisions."
Results from the 2011 survey are expected to provide valuable input
toward a visioning process, Chapel Hill 2020, to shape the town's
direction in a sustainable way for the next 10 years.
The survey was mailed to 2,000 randomly selected Chapel Hill
households. The random selection is critical to the statistical validity
of the survey results. An online survey also was offered to allow
interested residents an opportunity to view and complete the survey,
although those results will be tabulated separately.
The survey
polled residents on issues ranging from public safety, development, and
parks and recreation, to infrastructure and administrative services.
Benchmarking analysis has been conducted by ETC to help Chapel Hill
understand how its results compare to similar communities.
Survey results will be made available on the Town website at www.townofchapelhill.org/survey. The results of Chapel Hill's 2009 community survey are available online for review.

According to the NC Department of Commerce, visitors traveling to
and within the state of North Carolina spent a record $17 billion in
2010, supporting more than 40,000 North Carolina businesses and directly
supporting 183,900 jobs all across the state. State and local tax
revenues generated as a result of visitor spending total more than $1.5
billion annually.
North Carolina ranks as the 6th most visited state in the United
States. How does Chapel Hill build upon the state's status as a top
destination for visitors? What challenges does the local hospitality
industry face in light of the current economy? What new developments are
taking place? These topics and more will be discussed.
