Description/Background:
On January 26, 2021 the Council voted to allow Sandy City to participate in the Utah State University Utah Wellbeing Project. In February 2021, the City advertised the survey via social media, Healthy Sandy social channels, SandyNow email database, resident listserv, and City Council. All city residents age 18+ were encouraged to take the online Qualtrics survey.
Sandy City is one of 30 cities currently participating in the Utah Wellbeing Survey Project in 2021. This project is designed to assess the wellbeing and local perspectives of city residents and to provide information to city leaders to inform their general planning process. It is important to note that the 2021 survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was intentional as the last round of wellbeing surveys were conducted in 2020 prior to the pandemic. This allows us to assess changes at this unique period of time. Future surveys are anticipated to gauge recovery.
