To better understand what the community believes is important, CAC has facilitated 5 surveys since 2006.
This guides our direction for study and action, gets the community’s input on record and lets us share with public officials.
Our Study/Action teams exist to achieve results based on this feedback.
Your input is vital as we meet with local and county organizations like the Mountain Resource Center; members from Jefferson County’s Library, Open Space, and Transportation & Engineering, and Planning & Zoning programs; County Commissioners and more. We want to thank the many individuals and organizations that provided input as we developed the survey.
Your comments have driven change! For example, Jeffco Library made the determination to establish a stand-alone independent library for Conifer, and they used feedback that you provided on this survey to make that decision.

Claiming Conifer’s Character – 2022 Community Survey Results
This is not a scientifically validated survey. We used a convenience sample . . . anyone can fill it out. We wanted to hear from as many residents as possible. These findings can’t be generalized to all Conifer area residents.

“I see people that are dead set against development of any kind in our community. It will happen whether we like it or not … we can develop in a smart way that retains our character.”
