City of Beacon launches Community Facility and Program Survey.
Please help the City of Beacon plan the future of its community facilities and programs. This survey is open to all users of Beacon’s community facilities and programs. It is our hope to determine the need for a centrally located “Community Center” to assist in serving the current and future needs for our community.
The City of Beacon is currently developing a Community Facility and Program Report. The Report will include an inventory of existing recreational facilities and programs and a community needs assessment to identify and evaluate opportunities to improve and build upon existing programs and facilities. Based on the findings of the Inventory and Assessment, the City shall develop a final report outlining alternatives and prioritized recommendations for the potential provision of additional facilities, programs, and services for the next ten (10) years.
Great news right?! You may be asking yourself, “how can I help?” Well, let’s talk about that a minute…..

Many great entities provide facilities and programs for the residents of the City of Beacon. They include state and county agencies, local non-profits, as well faith based and civic organizations, to name a few. Now you have a little background it’s time to…….
