🚨 Reminder: Take the Biennial Community Survey! 🚨

Every two years, the City conducts a community survey to better understand what’s going well and where we can improve. As we plan for the future, your feedback is essential in helping the Mayor, City Council, and City staff identify opportunities, address challenges, and align our priorities with what matters most to you. 🏡✨

The survey takes just 10–15 minutes, and all responses are completely confidential. An independent research firm, ETC Institute, will analyze the results and share them publicly on the City’s website. 📊
Make your voice count and help guide Gaithersburg’s future.

Take the survey today, by visiting https://gburg.md/2026CommunitySurvey 💬
