Complete a Survey about Minburn

Minburn is in the process of creating a new vision for our community, and a planning committee has been formed toward that end. A consultant and Sue Cosner from Ripple Effect (Iowa Area Development Group) will attend the February 8 city council meeting and discuss the process and the elementary school building.

Please help by filling out a survey of your interests and what you consider the assets and needs of our community.

Surveys may be picked up at City Hall or downloaded from the files section of this website. Please complete the survey and return it to City Hall.
