Combined Summaries: Public Opinion on Indiana Communities

Abstract

As part of Thriving Communities, Thriving State, Institute staff gathered input from Hoosiers about their communities in 2015 through five regional forums around the state and an online survey. Participants identified their communities as urban, mid-sized, or rural/small town, and shared their views about their current condition and future outlook. The discussion and survey questions can be combined into four general categories – The Good, The Challenges, The Strategies, and The Dreams. This document includes only issues that were common to all three community types.
