The Interactive, Online Monterey 2031 Community Survey Open Through March 31

The Monterey 2031 Community Survey launched on March 1st and as of March 16, 2023 over 365 community members have weighed in to help shape a shared strategy for the future of our community. Amid the ongoing housing shortage in California, Monterey is required by law to plan for 3,654 new homes by 2031 to meet current and projected need. Planning for new housing will require a thoughtful strategy that considers the location and type of new homes in light of environmental hazards and quality of life.

This interactive, online survey is designed to give community members the chance to help plan where new housing, employment, and shopping should be located and how to achieve other community objectives like improving transportation options, revitalizing older commercial streets, and preserving and enhancing neighborhood character. The survey can be completed in just 5 minutes, but there are options to provide more input and dive deeper into the issues if you wish. Take the survey at online at https://monterey2031.mysocialpinpoint.com/.

There are also opportunities to have your say in-person at the Monterey Public Library, 625 Pacific Street, and at locations and events around town. Come see us at the Del Monte Farmers' Market Friday morning March 24! Hard copy surveys will be available.

Monterey 2031 is an important citywide project that involves updates to the City of Monterey General Plan to respond to emerging issues and new State laws. The survey will remain open until March 31, 2023. We need to hear from you to make sure the strategy for Monterey 2031 reflects the priorities of our community.
