All the numbers you can handle
Two recently-released reports chock-full of stats are now online for the good folks of Guilford County to peruse.
The 2006-07 Citizen Performance Report shows survey info from a group of regular citizens (and 87 percent of respondents feel that life is good here!), along with figures such as child support payment levels, incentives offered to businesses and crime rates/public safety.
Then there's the Service Efforts & Accomplishments Report. It's a dense 105-page document that, in eight chapters, covers embracing diversity, creating a more prosperous community, ensuring public safety and others. We'll get to that right after we polish off that pot of coffee.
Really. That's kind of our thing.
Going back to the citizen report, that will be the subject of several upcoming forums, where you could win a $50 gas card for attending and giving your feedback. We know that government meeting stuff can be dry. But a gas card?
Which, if you live within five miles of the meeting locations, and walk to the forum, may well be worth it.
The forums will be held at 7 p.m. at the following dates and locations. Call 641-3242 for information:
High Point
Aug. 5, Macedonia Family Resource Center, 401 Lake Ave.
Oak Ridge
Aug. 6, Oak Ridge Town Hall, 8315 Linville Road
Greensboro
