Two surveys, one for community members and one for business owner-operators, pertaining to Bogalusa's participation in the Louisiana Development Ready Communities program, are now available online.
Persons with a vested interest in Bogalusa may select the appropriate link and complete the survey. When they are finished and exit out of the survey, it will automatically go into a queue where the results will be collected and tallied.
Persons are asked to complete the survey as soon as possible.
The surveys are one of the first phases in Bogalusa's participation in the program, now that the community has been selected. It is anticipated that respondents will be able to complete the survey in five to 10 minutes, and those who respond will help provide the base information from which a plan of action can be developed for building the communities future.
The surveys, one for the general community and another for businesses, ask respondents to rate the city within categories such as Quality of Life, Education, Leadership, Market and Quality of Jobs and Training.
The surveys represent the first step in an intense, fast-paced, state-directed program developed to bring about a research-based, Bogalusa-specific economic development plan. More importantly, the program is designed so as to ensure the plan is implemented.
Bogalusa's goal is to exceed the top response from the 2010 program, which was 1,000 from DeRidder. Tuesday night, Bogalusa LDRC coordinator Sandy Bloom told city council members that the communications and marketing committee had established a goal of 1,400 responses.
"We want as many as possible," explained Mayor Charles Mizell. "The more we get, the better cross-section of the community we get and the better job we can do to work to improve the community."
