The Efland <br />area contains a diverse group of citizens, but <br />from this diversity the following conclusions can <br />be drawn from discussion to date: <br />1. Efland residents have varying ideas of the <br />boundaries of their village, but agree on the <br />northern, southern and eastern limits. <br />2. Efland residents have a strong sense of <br />community. <br />3. Efland residents wish to maintain their <br />"small- village feel ". <br />4. Efland residents prefer incorporation to <br />annexation by surrounding municipalities, but <br />are undecided whether to become a town <br />without annexation pressure such communities. <br />
