City of Newman Survey
The Stanislaus Urban County & the City of Turlock are in the process of preparing the joint Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2029 which will serve as a planning document for a community wide dialogue to identify the top housing needs, community development concerns for low- and moderate-income populations and to set informed priorities for actions and uses of funds.
An important part of these efforts is hearing from members of the public on these issues, so we encourage residents to take our survey. English and Spanish surveys can be found using the links below or by scanning the QR code in the flyers. Hard copies of the surveys can also be found in the Public Works Department Office at City Hall. The survey will close March 14th, 2025.
