Residents Weigh In: What Surveys Say About GT County, Peninsula Township
By Beth Milligan | Nov. 26, 2025
Two local municipalities – Grand Traverse County and Peninsula Township – each recently received the results of extensive community surveys designed to gauge resident feedback on a range of topics. The surveys are particularly illuminating given that both jurisdictions had previous surveys in recent years with which to compare results. From how Grand Traverse County is faring with public trust to resident concerns about the economy and housing to frustrations on Old Mission over the winery lawsuit, The Ticker looks at key highlights from both surveys.
