2020 Survey
The survey presented 4 different management options as well as a suite of specific management actions and was presented along with updates to the website as a community meeting was impossible due to Covid.
Around 400 people responded to the survey over the summer of 2020
A tally of the responses as well as detailed responses can be found on the MCCC website (https://moab84532.wixsite.com/mccc/2020-community-input-survey)
There were some complaints that the survey was hard to navigate and answer. Covid complicated efforts to present the concepts to the community or provide other face to face meetings to do so.
