Florence HIP Survey
The City of Florence is still seeking input on it Housing Implementation Plan. City Manager Erin Reynolds says the information gathered will help the city to decide how to adequately meet housing needs in the future. And it is not just for residents of the Florence City proper. Reynolds says that you have a stake in the planning if you are a commuter that works within the region or are planning to live or work in the City at some point.
“Housing matters to you, you want to live here or you are in the area or if you commute here from somewhere else for whatever the reason are we want to hear from you.”
There are a couple of surveys attached to the project, Reynolds says it just takes a few minutes to fill out. The final day for submitting is Monday the 17th of October. The ling to the surveys can be found at ci.florence.or.us or on the online version of this story at KCST.com or KCFMRadio.com. if you do not have access to a computer in your home, you can visit the Siuslaw Public Library for access.
