Farmers!
Take 8 minutes to
shape the next 8 years

Agriculture is a very important to the economy of Norfolk County. That's why farmers are urged to take two 8-minute surveys to help shape the next 5-10 years as part of the Economic Development Strategy Review.

If you don't participate, other voices will dominate the discussion moving forward.

Survey #1 – Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats & Values
Survey #2 – Are We Ready for the Future? Community Readiness
Both surveys close on August 31, 2018
