The City of Palm Coast is asking residents to share their opinions through the Palm Coast Community Survey, a community-wide effort to gather feedback on city services and quality of life.
The survey covers a wide range of topics, including public safety, infrastructure, utilities, mobility, community design, the natural environment, inclusivity, and civic engagement. Results will help guide the city’s strategic planning efforts and ensure future priorities reflect what matters most to residents.
“Hearing directly from our residents is essential as we plan for Palm Coast’s future,” said City Manager Mike McGlothlin. “This survey gives us valuable insight into what we’re doing well, where we can improve, and how we can continue to maintain the quality of life our community values.”
The National Community Survey was developed by the National Research Center at Polco and is used by communities across the country to measure livability and resident satisfaction. Palm Coast has been using this tool since 2002. The results will help the city identify strengths, areas for improvement, and how Palm Coast compares to similar communities nationwide.
Flagler County Government is conducting a similar community survey at the same time. By coordinating these efforts, data can be shared and analyzed community-wide, creating a more comprehensive picture of resident priorities and experiences across both Palm Coast and Flagler County.
Randomly selected households will receive survey invitations by mail over the next few weeks with instructions on how to participate. A broader community survey opportunity will also be available at the end of February, allowing more residents to share their feedback.
“The more voices we hear from, the better equipped we are to make informed decisions,” McGlothlin added. “Resident input plays a critical role in shaping our long-term goals and priorities.”
Residents are encouraged to visit the City of Palm Coast website and official social media channels for updates on survey availability and participation opportunities. More information about the survey is available at www.palmcoast.gov/about/community-survey.
