Home Town Competitiveness

Wonderful news, Greene County!

Greene County has been selected by the Lt. Governor's office as one of nine pilot communities in the State of Indiana to participate in the Home Town Competitiveness program, a program based on a successful very model from Nebraska. It focuses on four critical areas to the growth and prosperity of rural communities.

A community opinion survey has been made available, one which will be the first known wide-spread, public surveys ever taken in all of Greene County. This information will be used in creating activities across Greene County that:

Encourage our young people and young families to live in Greene County;

Encourage and support small business start-ups and entrepreneurship;

Encourage Greene County citizens to become more active in leadership roles; and

Encourage charitable giving to support local activities and family businesses to continue in our communities.

If you click or 'copy and paste' the addresses below into the address bar of your internet browser, you will be taken directly to the Home Town Competitiveness survey. The survey has two parts, each part has different questions. Please fill out both, if you have time. (It will take approximately 10 minutes for each part.)

Part 1

Part 2

The goal is to have 1,000+ people complete the survey by April 4th. So, please help Greene County by completing the survey and encouraging others, who live or are associated with Greene County, to fill these surveys out today! Your input -- both good and bad -- is important to helping Greene County to be a better place to live, work, and play.
