As a Carencro resident, it feels good to know that my city wants to hear what I have to say—and you, too! Now, the city has made it easier than ever to share your thoughts.
It isn't always easy to make it out to city gatherings, even if you do have something that you want to say. The city of Carencro recognizes that and has created a way for you to share your thoughts on the city's master plan from anywhere, anytime.
"I did it at two in the morning. It was very convenient for me because that's when I have time to do some work because otherwise I'm stick in my office all day, 10-14 hours a day, so it was convenient for me," said Jennifer Melancon, a Carencro resident and business owner.
She partook in the survey created for residents to weigh in on what Carencro's furture should look like.
Carencro Mayor Charlotte Clavier said the input from the survey would 100% be taken into consideration when drawing up the master plan.
"The master plan for the city of Carencro is what do the citizens—where do the citizens see us in 20 years, so then we have a plan to move us in that direction," Clavier said.
The survey covers eight main topics:
- Land Use
- Housing
- Tourism and Hospitality
- Cultural and Historic Preservation
- Transportation
- Parks and Recreation
- Infrastructure and Public Facilities
- Environmental Sustainability and Resilience
It asks how important each topic is to you and your specific thoughts on each one.
I took the survey myself, and though much ground is covered, it only took about 20 minutes to complete.
"It was really easy to use. The questions were really well thought about, really well laid out," Melancon said.
