In early 2021, the City issued a Community Survey. Those results were tabulated into a report, which can be found online. The new City Council, will be using the information obtained from the 2021 community survey, as well as the update to the master plan and the parks master plan to help formulate the City's next strategic plan for Rochester.

As staff and City Council start the 2022-2023 budgeting process and work on the next strategic plan, there will be questions sent out over the next few months. The City will be reaching out to residents and businesses via email and text message to get your additional input and thoughts on these questions.

Your voice is crucial to help us build our future strategy for Rochester. Together with our detailed survey, we would like to get new and innovative thoughts as to what the City could do to make you a happier and more satisfied resident and/or business owner.
