Have you been contacted regarding a Measure E survey?

The City is partnering with ZenCity, a trusted third-party vendor, to conduct a survey now through January. This survey is designed to gather diverse and representative feedback from our community in order to guide future decisions on how Measure E funds are used.

Measure E has already funded priorities like public safety, traffic and street maintenance, economic development and more!

With revenues exceeding expectations, this survey will help identify new ways to address community needs. We’re excited to work with ZenCity and hear from you on how to make Elk Grove an even better place to live, work, and thrive!
