It's Halloween time, but that doesn't mean community engagement has to be scary! Some may think asking for feedback encourages complaining. However, cities that reach out to residents are often the most successful. Polco encourages collaboration—not complaints!—so don't be afraid to spark  participation and improve your community together. 🎃
