Community Surveys
Surveys of community residents were conducted in 1995, 1999 and 2005 to obtain the opinions of Williamson Valley residents about the development issues facing the area.
The 1995 survey was commissioned by Yavapai County and conducted by the Office of Rural Resource Management and Planning in the Department of Geography and Public Planning in the School of Forestry of Northern Arizona University. A summary of the 1995 survey results may be found here [1995 survey summary]
The 1999 survey was conducted by the Williamson Valley Concerned Citizens. See a summary of the 1999 survey here [1999 survey summary].
The 2005 survey was conducted by the Williamson Valley Corridor Plan steering committee as part of the preparation of the community plan [see Community Plan]. Read a summary of the 2005 survey here [2005 survey summary].
Williamson Valley Postcard Survey In order to ascertain, prior to the Board of Supervisors hearing, community support for the Williamson Valley Community Plan and the three-lane improvement proposal for Williamson Valley road, WVCO sent out a postcard survey in the middle of February 2010. The postcard, which was sent to all property owners in the Community Plan area, asked recipients to check which of the following options they supported:
- I support the Williamson Valley Community Plan which is being presented because it reflects the desire of citizens to maintain the scenic, rural and residential character of the Williamson Valley Corridor
- I do not support the Williamson Valley Community Plan
- I support the 3-lane improved road design proposed by the County in 2004
- I support the 5-lane divided highway currently planned by the County
5107 postcards were sent out, 895 responses were received. The community residents supported the Community Plan and the 3-lane road option by about a 3 to 1 margin.
