  • Soon after, the county will announce the survey to open for all residents by visiting the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners’ website at myokaloosa.com.

 “We are excited to be conducting this survey,” says Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners Chairman Mel Ponder. “This survey will help Okaloosa County staff and board identify priorities for the community and improve the quality of life in Okaloosa County.”
