Does Nantucket want a rink? Has a survey determined the need?
Actually, two surveys have been conducted: as the new high school was being planned, students were asked to identify what athletic facility was needed, and the response was overwhelmingly for an ice rink (despite this, an indoor pool, a proven asset to the town, was built). Additionally, we surveyed 500 local residents: 96% of them supported the construction of the rink; 65% had children who would participate in skating programs.
