We are conducting this survey to gauge what’s important to our population in determining where they live after completing their education, and how well Fayette County measures up in providing it.

The results of the survey will be used to direct future efforts for making Fayette County more competitive to both retain and attract population, especially among younger people. The survey is being distributed primarily to people in three groups: 15-18 years old, 19-25 years old, 26+ years old who currently live in or used to live in Fayette County.

If you're a resident interested in helping the process, we welcome you to complete the survey. It takes about 10 minutes to complete.
