Appendix F
2022 Community Interest and Opinion Survey
NPD Core Values
Survey respondents were shown the NPD’s six core values (along with brief descriptions) and asked to rank the top three in terms of importance.
By far, promoting “Health & Wellness” is seen as most important overall. Nearly half (44%) cite this as the #1 core value, and 75% include it in their “top three”. This is followed by “Public Safety”, “Accessibility”, and “Environmental Education/Stewardship/Sustainability”, each of which were included as “top three” values for roughly half of the respondents.
