The 1987 Community Values Survey found that the natural beauty and rural character of the town were what residents, overwhelmingly, valued most about their community.

Most communities begin their comprehensive plan process by thoughtfully engaging the residents of the town. The process normally starts with a series of town-wide meetings designed to involve the whole community, where people can express their current concerns and their hopes for the future.
