EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Residents in Las Cruces and Doña Ana County are invited to participate in the National Community Survey to provide direct input into local government decision-making processes, according to the City of Las Cruces. The National Community Survey is an online survey that 'was developed in partnership with the International City/County Management Association in 2001 to provide cities and counties with a scientific survey of resident opinions and an important benchmarking tool that allows for comparison among communities,' according to the City of Las Cruces. In addition, the City said the survey is used for residents to provide direct input to the local government decision-making process. Residents can access the survey here for the English version and here for the Spanish version. According to the City, the survey includes 33 questions for residents to provide answers and comments. The survey takes roughly 20 minutes to complete. The National Community Survey will be available until Thursday, May 8. Once residents have answered the questions, they will be asked to provide their ZIP code to confirm where they live, according to the City.
