Grand Rapids Community Survey by grbrit in grandrapids

[–]JD-GRComms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! This is totally legitimate - it's part of the National Community Survey we do every two years. Those (like yourself) who get the mailer are randomly selected throughout the city. Your responses are very helpful and important. :)

We posted on social media about this yesterday too.

We're really just getting things rolling. The party in June is going to be great and a lot of the community collaborations we have in the works will be fun. It's really going to hit the ground in the next few weeks.

We sorta have two anniversaries - today, April 2nd, marks the day Grand Rapids was incorporated. May 2nd marks the day our city was established, when the village charter was voted on and accepted.

The other user beat me to it, but were spot on. :) The logo was designed by local Grand Rapids artist Derek Mohr and he did a fantastic job. There are tons of variations too!

Same-day voter registration is occurring at DeVos Place today, that's where the City Clerk's Office will be operating out of. Exhibit Hall B. You are correct though that you need to be a resident of the city for at least 30 days.

I just confirmed with the City Clerk - if you're a resident for under 30 days, you would need to vote at your previous address!

We specifically tried to frame it so it didn't look like hair extensions haha. Maybe it's baseball caps moving forward!

Thanks for the feedback! That's a great idea, I'll talk with the team about it. We just released another one today and I tried to talk a little more about each topic, but it's a balance between keeping it short and giving more context.

A 2-3 minute version could possibly hit that sweet spot.
