SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, NASSAU BAY! New to the City website: Each month, the City will be posting a single survey question at www.nassaubay.com/survey, and we encourage our residents to take just a few seconds to participate. Last month, we asked our citizens about our Financial Transparency webpage, a very important tool given that we just entered a new fiscal year. This month, with National Night Out planned for Tuesday, October 5, we’re asking our residents: Do you feel that Nassau Bay is a safe community? Participants will be asked to provide their feedback in a brief, two-question survey. Use our QR code to go directly to the survey page!
