A Request From The Van Hornesville Community Corp.
The Van Hornesville Community Corp. is surveying the Van Hornesvile community and the Town of Stark with the intention of helping us think about the future of our area and working to understand how the VHCC might contribue to it. We are hoping each of the Town Council members would fill out the survey, as well as share it with Town employees and others in the community in the Town of Stark. The survey shouldn't take long (10-15 minutes) and it will be a big help to the VHCC as we invest our time and energy to improve this place we all care about. A link to the survey can be found at the VHCC website at https://www.vhccorp.org. Thank you for taking the time. (Updated 11/26/2024)
