The Vision Fountain Hills Committee is reminding residents that they have just a couple of weeks left to participate in the community survey the group will use to focus its community workshop on May 7. The survey will close Thursday, March 31.

Committee Co-Chair Jerry Butler said the group is very pleased with the response so far. There had been 1,200 responses to the survey as of last week.

The committee will use names it gets from the survey to invite people to participate in the workshop. Anyone interested in participating in the workshop should make sure to complete the survey by the deadline. The survey will ask for contact information for those who want participate in the workshop.

The workshop is an all-day event and there will be a cost to participate to help defray the costs.

Community members need to get together and look at the hard decisions that will need to be made regarding budget and finance for the town, Butler said.

“We will be asking for their solutions to the issues during the workshop,” he said.

“We need to have ideas that the people will support.”

VisionFH co-chair John Craft said, “Fountain Hills is truly an exceptional community, but we must work together to define our future vision for this town.

“It is time we explore and decide what we’re going to look like five to 10 years from now. That’s what this process is all about.”

The community survey and other information is available at visionfh.org.
