"Shaping
Our Future" Land-Use Survey
"Wanted! Your Help in Shaping the Future of Houghton County."
That was the invitation to all Houghton County residents in January
1997 to participate in an opinion survey about land-use and related
issues. Nearly 2,000 residents took the time to return the surveys.
The survey asked residents how strongly they agreed or disagreed
with each of 26 statements on topics such as community change, planning,
development, open-space preservation, property rights, and environmental
stewardship. About three-quarters of the returned surveys included
comments, ranging from a few words to lengthy attachments.
Funding for this project
was provided by mini-grants to the League of Women Voters of the
Copper Country from the Michigan Environmental Council's Land Stewardship
Initiative and by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The League of Women
Voters of the Copper Country and U.P. LEAD contributed additional
funds.
