AROUND TOWN

SURVEY

The town is conducting a Citizen Survey to get ideas and suggestions from local residents. Some residents have been randomly selected to participate and have been mailed questionnaires. Jupiter residents who did not receive a questionnaire but wish to participate in the survey can go to the town’s website at jupiter.fl.us. Town officials use the results to identify areas of opportunity, develop new initiatives for Jupiter’s annual update for future town plans and assess its performance. For more information or to view results of surveys in previous years, go to jupiter.fl.us. The survey can be filled out online.
