  • WE NEED YOUR INPUT!

    ROCK RIVER TOWNSHIP CITIZEN SURVEY
    ​

    Rock River Township is currently working on a Master Plan for land use. Local development decisions affect your quality of life in many ways, including: a healthy environment, clean and plentiful water, safe roadways, compatible land uses, adequate public facilities and impacts to property values and taxes. A Master Plan is a blueprint for a municipality that depicts current land uses and guides decisions for both growth and conservation in your community. The Master Plan will develop goals and strategies for land use and development for the next 10 years. Citizen input is an integral part of this Plan. Local insight from community members can be instrumental in identifying your shared values and interests, establishing our goals and objectives for Rock River Township’s future.
    • Please complete the following questionnaire. You can fill out the questionnaire by downloading here: Rock River Township Citizen Survey.

      Your responses are anonymous and will be reported in group form only. Completed questionnaires can be delivered to the Rock River Township Hall during regular Library hours (Wed and Sat 9 am-noon) or mailed to:
