First Impressions Logo

The First Impressions Program – Community – is designed to give you insight into the success of your local community development efforts by providing a first time visitor’s impressions of your village or city.  These insights, provided to you in the form of a written report and presentation, can help to evaluate and target ongoing community planning and goal setting efforts. Your community will be paired with another, similar community that is also interested in obtaining information on the effectiveness of their improvement efforts.  Each of you will identify a team of volunteers who will visit the other community anonymously and complete a survey of their impressions.
