Welcome to Build a Better Grinnell's Blog!
Our Vision:
The Build a Better Grinnell project aims to gather real feedback from community members about Grinnell’s strengths and areas for improvement. By gathering people together, asking questions, and thinking about our community’s needs we can collectively work to make Grinnell an even better place to live, work and play.
Our Mission:
Through this community survey, we aim to help residents and community members make informed decisions about community, economic, social service, educational and philanthropic development that will shape the future of Grinnell for the better.
