We have developed this questionnaire to help you assess where your community lies along a continuum of sustainability that includes all the aspects of social responsibility, environmental quality and economic development.

At the end of the questionnaire, you'll receive feedback on how your community compares with some of the best practices other communities have successfully implemented. And, most importantly, we will provide web-based reference materials that you can use to help you move forward to achieve your goals. These resources have been used by communities in the U.S. and even other countries, so they are proven to work.

As a community leader, you must continually balance fiscal responsibility with a strong economy, good governance, a healthy environment, and effective social and municipal services. This questionnaire asks questions that will help you decide where you might put your resources for the greatest long-term benefit to your present and future constituents.
