Work From Home Survey

Do you work from home some or all of the time?

As part of the City’s update to our 20-year growth management plan, we are evaluating ways to support emerging employment opportunities such as working from home. To get an idea of whether this is of interest in Ridgefield, we are asking residents to help us learn more about who is already working from home all or part of the time, and how we can support you.

Please take a few minutes to complete the 7 minute survey, and enter your email for a chance to win a $50 Rosauers gift card!
