And the survey says...














Celebrate Fremont's Future team has been conducting surveys around Fremont for the past year.

If you haven't taken the survey yet, there's still time to give us your opinion on what you would like to see in the future of Fremont! It's just a click away!

You may have seen the team and the surveys around town! At the library, local events, annual shows and fairs, outside of Safeway, and even in your neighborhood.
