Vienna's townwide survey closes Nov. 2

By Vienna Ledger staff · October 20, 2026 · 1 min read

Vienna residents who didn't receive a mailed townwide survey can still weigh in online before the Monday, Nov. 2, deadline.

The Town of Vienna said on X that anyone who wasn't part of the random sample that received a printed copy can take the survey at polco.us/vienna2026. The survey asks about town services and quality of life.

Town Council work sessions shaped the survey over several months. Staff presented survey preparation plans at the May 11 work session. Council members discussed survey topics again at a July 6 work session.

The online version is open now at polco.us/vienna2026.
