"Would you recommend Falmouth Maine?"
This summer 553 people completed a short, three-question survey on Falmouth which included the question "Would you recommend Falmouth?"
Here is a link to the results of that survey: http://www.town.falmouth.me.us/Pages/FalmouthME_BComm/LPAC/SurveyReport20101016.pdf It can also be found on the front page of the Town’s website: www.town.falmouth.me.us.
This survey is part of the Long Range Planning Advisory Committee's work. This citizen committee is currently producing a new Comprehensive Plan, a plan that will guide Falmouth’s decision-making over the next ten years or so. Attached is the first progress report of the committee. We hope you find it of interest.
For more information on this project, please contact Theo Holtwijk, Director of Long-Range Planning at 781-5253 ext. 5340. Thank you.
