Greater sissonville development council
About
The Greater Sissonville Development Council (GSDC) is a non-profit organization established by a group of volunteers who want to improve the Sissonville community. The group members meet on the second Tuesday of each month at the Sissonville Library at 5:30 PM.
Our mission is to preserve and improve the physical, social, and economic health of the Greater Sissonville community. Our vision is to improve the perception of our community, improve the infrastructure of our community, increase the frequency of community events and participation in them, and to promote economic and housing opportunities.
We currently host our data visualizations here. Currently, we have uploaded the 2024 Sissonville Community Survey results. Future data visualizations will be available at the linked Tableau Public profile.
