Aquatic Feasibility Study
The 2024 Master Plan notes that there is an undeniable expression of interest from the public for water access, aquatics safety and fitness opportunities in the County. Aquatic offerings can vary dramatically and with that variation come substantial differences in the cost to develop an aquatic facility.
What will the study include?
Items to be considered in a feasibility study are the cost of a facility, if the facility can fit within other recreation center offerings, is there potential to generate revenue from a facility, what staffing is needed to operate such a facility and regular and capital maintenance costs of such a facility.
A aquatic feasibility study will provide the Board of Commissioners with valuable insight and help with making decisions and assist the Board with determining what types of aquatics facilities should be developed in Chowan County.
