Palisade Community Survey Results

The 2011 Palisade Community Survey was conducted over a two week period in February of 2011.  1500 survey instruments were mailed to the Town’s utility customers.  Citizens not receiving a utility bill were able to obtain a survey questionnaire at the Palisade Town Hall.  Three hundred thirty-six (336) survey instruments were returned for an excellent return rate of 22%.

 

Data was entered and results tabulated by students at Mesa State College under the direction of Professor Rick Ott.  The results were presented at a Palisade Town Board meeting on June 28, 2011 by Professor Ott and Mesa State College student, Alex Hafer.

 

The survey results are provided as slides from the presentation along with the original questionnaire.  They are available for review by the public in hard copy at the Palisade Town Hall or the Palisade Branch Library.  To purchase a copy of the results visit Palisade Town Hall at 175 East Third Street in Palisade.  The results are also posted to the Town’s website at www.townofpalisade.org. Responses to the “Comments” sections of the survey are in process of being scanned and will be available in hard copy under separate cover in early July.

    Fall Event Seed Monies 

    The main goal of the Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) is to attract both Grand Valley residents and out of town visitors to explore the Palisade Area. In line with that goal, the TAB wants to financially support fall festival events to encourage tourism activity in Palisade during the shoulder season months.

     

    TAB’s financial support for fall events is a one-time funding opportunity up to 500 dollars per event. Due to the limited amount of funding, TAB will require those seeking funds to go through a simple application process and presentation before TAB members.

     

    If you have a Fall season event that needs some “seed money” to grow, please stop by Town Hall for additional information and application. The application deadline for Fall Event Seed Money is July 8th 2011.
