VOLCANO LONG RANGE PLAN - A CHANCE TO HAVE A SAY SO IN YOUR COMMUNITY!
The Volcano Long Range Plan (VLRP) committee is seeking input to deepen its understanding of Volcano community
priorities by conducting this SURVEY. To learn more about the VLRP, go to www.volcanocommunity.org, where you will
also find a link to the survey, if you prefer to take it online.
Because the draft plan is due for a revision, your responses to this survey will help to identify preferences for certain
community actions that have been proposed in the VLRP.
The survey consists of six questions:
1. Where is your residency?
2. What are the TOP THREE things you like about living in Volcano?
3. Your opinions on proposed initiatives (note: question 3 is focused on improvement initiatives in the VLRP)
4. From the list of community improvement initiatives, which are the THREE most important items?
5. What, if any, are the top three community services you would like to have in Volcano?
6. Would you like to participate in implementation of the VLRP?
Deadline for receipt of responses is close of business on Friday. October 21, 2016.
Please note that if you've already submitted the survey online, there's no need to complete this hard copy version of the
survey. Completed surveys may be returned to Volcano Community Association, E O. Box 600, Volcano, HI 96785-0600.
Surveys may also be returned to VCA's table at the Sunday Volcano Farmer's Market.
The long-term efforts of many Volcano residents supported the initial development and significant revisions of the
Volcano Long Range Plan over three decades. The plan aims to keep the Volcano community as the quaint gateway to the
national park, and as a serene and safe rural community. Other towns and villages in Hawaii are preparing long range
plans, as well. Each plan will be different, and will reflect the values of those who live there.
Your answers to this survey will help to guide the actions we as a community will be taking during the coming decades.
Thank you for participating in this survey.
