Take our Survey!

The Making Place all started with a survey. We aim to continue using public input to shape our services and help direct our efforts.

Based on the survey data we've collected so far, our long-term vision for TMP includes a large workspace with all kinds of equipment from industrial arts & fabrication to pottery. Tell us what YOU would like to see TMP become and help direct our efforts. Check out our wish list made from survey results.
