The input provided through the Community Survey sheds light on the unique characteristics, concerns, and values of the Chaves County community. Open from September 26 to November 7, 2025, this survey engaged 263 participants who will influence Chaves County’s future. The Community Survey covers essential topics such as quality of life, employment, growth and development, transportation and infrastructure, housing, and demographics. These results will be analyzed by Consensus Planning and the Chaves County Steering Committee, and the insights will help shape the final Comprehensive Plan document.
