Hardwick Municipal Plan Community Survey

The survey closed on June 5, 2026

The Town of Hardwick has started work on the 2027 update to our Municipal Plan, and the Planning Commission is asking for community input to help guide the process.

The Municipal Plan helps shape local decisions about things like housing, infrastructure, flood resilience, food systems, and community priorities over the next several years. Your input will help identify what people value most about Hardwick and what may need attention moving forward.

We’ve created a short community survey (about 5–8 minutes) and would love to hear from residents, workers, business owners, and anyone connected to Hardwick.

Survey results will be summarized and shared publicly and will help inform the next Municipal Plan update. Thanks for participating!
