Survey

A committee of Gateway area volunteers was formed to develop a Neighborhood Plan for this

area. A Neighborhood Plan is intended to be the "growth policy" for a geographic community

area. This community generated growth policy will be considered by the Gallatin County

Commission in their growth planning decisions, in conjunction with County Growth Policy. This

survey is submitted to solicit input and ideas to be used by the committee in developing a plan

which represents the goals, visions, and attitudes of the Gallatin Gateway community as a whole.

Please consider the following questions and take this opportunity to express your vision, ideas,

and attitudes to be incorporated into the plan by the committee.

 

You are also welcome to provide input regarding our Guiding Principles by participating this survey.
