<br /> NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY FOR LONG RANGE PLANNING
<br /> Prince William County, Virginia
<br /> Leisure Vision conducted a Community Attitude and Interest Survey for Prince William County
<br /> during January and February of 2008 to help establish priorities for the future improvement of
<br /> parks, greenways, trails, green and recreation facilities, programs and services within the
<br /> community. The survey was designed to obtain statistically valid results from households
<br /> throughout Prince William County. The survey was administered by a combination of mail and
<br /> phone.
<br /> Leisure Vision worked extensively with Prince William County Park Authority officials in the
<br /> development of the survey questionnaire. This work included a series of stakeholder interviews
<br /> with the Board and staff allowing the survey to be tailored to issues of strategic importance to
<br /> effectively plan the future 08c. E,stimatedl Number r o of inn lilies
