Community Orientation and Outlook

Respondents were asked:

“We know the world is going to change a lot in the next decade. We have been exploring how the County should best position itself in terms of looking to the future, and planning and investing for growth and change. In the future, should the county focus be more on reacting only to needs as they emerge, or being much more proactive and invest in being future-ready?”

SCALE: 1 = REACTIVE: RESPOND ONLY TO NEEDS; to 10 = PROACTIVE: BECOME FUTURE-READY

Key things to note:

There was a wide spread of responses, however the majority of respondents feel the county focus should be more proactive in relation to becoming future-ready.
Those respondents in the older age categories were more inclined to also consider being reactive and responding to needs as they emerge.
