MU students conduct survey of renters to gauge interest in sustainability

COLUMBIA, MO (March 6, 2012) - The City of Columbia is partnering with students from the University of Missouri's Truman School to measure the interest those who rent their dwelling have in issues like utility costs, transportation and other factors related to sustainability. A survey is currently posted on the city's website at www.GoColumbiaMo.com and will remain available during March. Those who rent are invited to complete the survey.

"There have been discussions in the past about how to increase energy efficiency in rental properties," said Leigh Britt, Neighborhood Services manager for the city. "This survey will allow us to find out from renters what factors affect their decision on where to live, what information they would like and how we can provide more information to them."

The data collected through the survey, along with feedback from focus groups, will be analyzed by the Truman School students. The feedback collected may be used in future education and outreach efforts or impact city policy.
