2012 Survey of Residents & Former Residents of Rush County

 

In May and June of 2012, a survey was sent out to all subscribers of the Rush County News. The purpose was two-fold. First, to gauge interest in former residents returning to live and/or work in Rush County, and second, to assess the strengths and weaknesses of our county and elicit comments from the public on ways that we can improve the economic and social environments of the county.

The response to the survey was less than expected, primarily due to the fact that many existing residents believed that the survey was targeted to non-residents or individuals considering relocating to the county.
