Healthy and Vibrant Edgewood/2015 Announces First Round of Community Surveys

Edgewood, IOWA – Healthy and Vibrant Edgewood/2015 is announcing its first round of community surveys for Edgewood residents. 

The survey will be delivered to all Edgewood residents by the end of May and will address the strengths and opportunities related to current and future health, recreation and wellness programs and facilities in Edgewood.  

“These surveys and community conversations will be so important in ensuring that every Edgewood resident gets his or her voice heard as we make decisions about our community’s recreation and wellness future,” said Edgewood Mayor Jim Stone. “With community input we hope to make Edgewood a more healthy and vibrant place.”

In addition to the survey, several Healthy and Dynamic Edgewood/2015 Community Conversations will be scheduled later this year and the entire community will be invited to participate. Findings from the process will be used to advise decision-makers about the community’s hopes and dreams related to health, recreation and wellness.

“When we plan ahead based on the needs of our community, we save money,” said Edgewood Economic Development Executive Director Elise Bergen. “It doesn’t go to waste.”

Healthy and Dynamic Edgewood 2015 is a partnership supported by the Edgewood Economic Development Corporation, Edgewood Chamber of Commerce, Foundation for the Future of Delaware County, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque; and the USDA. 

Copies of the three-year and 20-year plans can be obtained at edgewoodiowa.com.
