The 2012 Matanuska-Susitna Borough Community Survey will be directed by
Dr. Sharon Chamard, Justice faculty. She directed the Mat-Su Surveys for 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. The 2012 survey will be mailed to a random
sample of Mat-Su residents beginning in August. The survey has been conducted annually since 2006 and is a cooperative research effort between the Justice Center and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough to collect information about use of and satisfaction with Borough services, opinions about Borough policies and taxation, and household composition. These data will be used by Borough decision-makers to prioritize projects, improve services, and better plan for the future growth of the Mat-Su Borough.
