Loveland survey opens online and in person July 7

Loveland residents can begin taking the city’s National Community Survey online or on paper starting July 7, according to a city news release.

The biennial survey closes July 29. The city said the first phase began June 2, when 4,000 randomly selected households received mailed invitations to participate. Those residents are being asked to use the survey information they received in the mail rather than the open-participation version, since the two surveys are identical.

For online respondents, the city said participants are asked to provide an email address and ZIP code after answering the questions. The city said that helps ensure each person takes the survey only once and confirms whether the survey-taker lives in the city. Paper copies can be picked up and returned at the City Clerk's Office and Utility Billing Office at the Civic Center Municipal Building, the Loveland Public Library and the Chilson Recreation Center.

The city said survey data will be compiled and shared with the public this fall. Residents with questions can contact the city’s Communication and Engagement Department by email or phone, according to the release.
