The Community Survey conducted in 2002 was sponsored by the City of Steamboat Springs and conducted by RRC Associates.

Every day individual consumers make choices regarding the products they choose to purchase and perhaps more importantly where they decide to purchase them. Consumer preference surveys are commonly used to assess and understand these choices.

All Routt County Communities utilize the Routt County Regional Building Department.
