COMMUNITY CENTER NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY END DATE SET

(Kirksville, MO) -- The time to complete a Community Center Needs Assessment is drawing to a close. February 6, 2012 will be the last day for citizens to submit their opinions by completing a Community Center Needs Assessment. Please take a few minutes to complete this important survey; you can do so electronically or via paper. To complete your survey electronically, visit http://case.truman.edu/community.asp. A link to the survey will also be located on the City’s Website, www.kirksvillecity.com. Paper versions of the survey can be picked up and returned at City Hall, Kirksville Aquatic Center, Adair County Public Library or Adair County Family YMCA.

The City of Kirksville is partnering with the Center for Applied Statistical Evaluation (CASE) at Truman State University to develop and implement this needs assessment for Adair County which will determine the level of interest in a community center and what activities and amenities would be important in such a facility. If the survey results show enough interest, the City Council will begin to look for partnerships, grants and other resources that might assist in the planning and development of a new facility, or changes to existing facilities to meet the needs of our community.
