The Dalles City Councilors heard a report on an initial community survey as part of its process of developing a 20-year vision plan. Aubrie Koenig of consultant Barney and Worth said they received 439 responses to a community on-line survey in November, and outlined key themes that came out. At the top was upgrading high school and public health facilities, along with supporting affordable housing opportunities and small business diversity. Other main themes from the survey included maintaining paths, trails, and river access, continuing revitalization of downtown with mixed-use development and places to gather, and honoring The Dalles’ diverse history. Councilors approved scheduling a virtual town hall on the subject for March 9 at 5:30 p.m., with another survey to be done in late March.
