(KMZA)---The results of a county-wide survey distributed last fall in Nemaha County was released to the public Monday evening.
County residents filled the courtroom at the Nemaha County Courthouse to hear the presentation, which was conducted via Zoom by Jason Morado with Olathe-based ETC Institute.
The purpose to the 5-page survey was to identify the needs and preferences of residents to assist in the development of a comprehensive plan for the county.
Morado said there were 945 completed surveys that were returned, well surpassing their 400 completed survey goal.
Residents overwhelmingly felt the county is an excellent place to live. The results showed that the county rated much higher than most communities across the state and across the nation.
Respondents felt quality schools and affordable housing were most important issues that need to addressed in the county over the next five years.
The survey did include several questions related to wind turbines in the county. 64 percent of respondents were opposed to the addition of more industrial wind turbines in the county.
The survey results presentation can be viewed on the county's website.https://www.nmcoks.us/planning-commission
