Help Shape the Future of North Iowa: Take the Pride In Place Community Survey

Last Updated 6/3/2026Posted in News & Resources


What makes North Iowa a great place to live, work, and visit? What strengths should we celebrate, and where are there opportunities to improve? Community leaders want to hear directly from you.  

The Greater Mason City Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Main Street Mason City, Visit Mason City, and other community partners, is inviting residents from across North Iowa to participate in the new Pride In Place Community Survey. This community-wide survey is designed to gather valuable feedback about the atmosphere, culture, character, and overall quality of life throughout the region. Whether you've lived here your entire life, recently relocated, or simply care deeply about the future of North Iowa, your input can help guide conversations, priorities, and community development efforts for years to come.

Why Participate? The Pride In Place Survey seeks to better understand how residents perceive our communities and what contributes to a strong sense of pride and belonging. Survey responses will help local organizations and community leaders:

  • Identify community strengths and assets
  • Better understand resident perceptions and experiences
  • Recognize opportunities for growth and improvement
  • Inform future planning and community initiatives
  • Strengthen efforts to attract and retain residents, visitors, and businesses

Every perspective matters, and broad participation will help ensure the results accurately reflect the voices of people throughout the region.

Residents are encouraged to complete the survey online by visiting https://forms.office.com/r/a8qrr2TFki

The survey only takes a few minutes to complete, and all responses will help build a stronger, more vibrant future for North Iowa.
