The City of Lima is asking residents to fill out a quick survey in order to benefit the community. The survey, located on the City of Lima's website, is asking for input on housing needs, public services, infrastructure improvements, and fair housing.
Dionne Dickey, a community development specialist for the city of Lima, said resident input plays a direct role in how funding is allocated.
“It helps to determine where funding that we receive needs to go. Plain and simple, the city of Lima receives some federal dollars in the form of the Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds. And those dollars are determined by what is needed here in Lima.”
