To gain insights from the community for the purposes of planning and community improvement, the Coalition conducted a community-wide needs assessment, which included the compilation of selected secondary data, administration of a community survey, community member interviews, and focus groups. The community survey was primarily conducted online to gather input from residents regarding their perceptions of community strengths and needs in 10 topic areas.
