Local Residential Internet Survey
Jackson and Josephine Counties are evaluating high-speed Internet to understand availability, service options, and connectivity strength. Residents are invited to provide information about high-speed Internet access at your home that will be used to identify current and future needs. The survey is open through January 31, 2022.
All responses are anonymous and confidential. If possible, participants should use a device connected to a home internet connection through WiFi or Ethernet, not a cellular connection (4G/LTE/5G), to take the survey.
County government
The Josephine County Board of Commissioners is the governing body of the county empowered to adopt ordinances, establish programs, levy taxes, appropriate funds, make appointments, and zone property in the unincorporated area. The three members of the board are elected on a non-partisan basis to serve four-year terms.
With the exception of holidays and other planned recesses, the Board of Commissioners convenes the first, third, and fourth Wednesdays at 9:00 am and the second Wednesday at 5:30 pm at 600 NW 6th Street in Grants Pass. The meetings are open to the public.
