2017 Community Survey 

Ten Action Teams made up of community members helped create questions for the survey, which was conducted in September 2017. The scientific, random-sample, statistically-significant survey was conducted via cell phones and landlines by the Morris Leatherman Company using evidence-based methods to ensure the sample was representative of Red Wing's populations.

2017 Hispanic Survey

Hispanic Outreach of Goodhue County and Live Healthy Red Wing worked with the consultant company HACER to conduct a survey of Hispanic residents to learn about quality-of-life topics in Red Wing. The survey was written and conducted in Spanish. An Advisory Team of Hispanic and non-Hispanic residents helped create the survey.

2017 Summer Engagement Project

Red Wing 2040 took our "pop-up station" on the road to 14 different community events (including 30 locations at Night to Unite) in the summer of 2017. In total, we reached 1,300 people, who wrote 4,600 responses to the two questions below:

Question Number 1: "What do you like most about living in Red Wing?"
Question Number 2: "What would make Red Wing a better place to live?"
