A new Welcoming Community Survey compiled by the Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County shows Columbus is improving in its welcoming attitudes, but unevenly at best.
This is the third survey the Heritage Fund has organized — the first in 2004 and the second in 2010 — and the results are not unlike what was discovered in 2010, said Tracy Souza, Heritage Fund president and CEO.
“I believe the community genuinely wants to be welcoming,” Souza said of the 2018 survey results, which were released on Feb. 25. “But sometimes we don’t do a consistently great job of it. We’ve got work to do.”
