On March 25th, we will launch the On the Table Community Survey, designed to gather the opinions and perspectives of neighborhood residents all across Lexington. These surveys will be open until April 25th and will be available online at ottlex.org, or in print format at public library locations in Fayette County as well as the Lexington Senior Center. After the survey period closes, the On the Table team will work with the University of Kentucky to analyze the data gathered through this process. Extending the survey period to one month will allow us to reach more people and dynamically respond to what communities are completing the survey and adjust accordingly.
In the early summer, we will release between 20 and 40 neighborhood-specific reports that detail the survey’s findings. The reports will also provide resources for residents to get more involved in the issues they care about.
The public conversation aspect of On the Table will occur when COVID-19 no longer poses a public health risk. Once LFCHD has determined that this risk has passed, we will set a period of 30-45 days to recruit table hosts for conversations, which will take place on one day. All conversations will be designed to facilitate discussion centered around the On the Table neighborhood reports, what was missed, and how residents can work toward further civic action in their communities.
