COMPARISONS OF KEY RESULTS
RANDOM AND PUBLIC SAMPLES FACILITY TYPE IMPORTANCE
In comparing the public and random samples on the importance of the three facility types, both samples rated the multi- purpose activity center with an indoor pool as the most important (Table 10) . In fact, the public sample rated the multi-purpose activity center with an indoor pool slightly higher in mean importance (m=2.65) than the random sample (m=2.40). For both samples, a multi-purpose activity center with synthetic turf and an activity center similar to Fort Hill with no pool were rated less important.

WILLINGNESS TO PAY In comparing the samples, respondents from the both samples indicated the highest willingness to pay for a multi-purpose activity center with a pool with 72% of the public sample and 48% of the random sample indicating they would vote yes for a hypothetical property tax increase (Table 11) . For both samples, comparatively fewer respondents (22% from the public sample and 32% from the random sample) would vote yes for an activity center with no pool, and the fewest (22% from the public sample & 26% from the random sample) would vote yes for an activity center with synthetic turf.
