To gain this understanding, we conduct various studies and do research . An example is a facility utilization study we conducted in the Fall of 2014 . This study, conducted by an expert consulting firm funded through The Community Foundation, included both a formal survey and meetings with more than 300 members of the Hancock County community . The number one recommendation coming from this study was to change the name of our organization to better reflect who we are and who we serve…especially going into the future . As you know, we took action and changed our name to 50 North, a decision we have already found to be highly beneficial. This same research study also showed there is significant support within Hancock County to consider further renovation and expansion of our facilities with an emphasis on enlarging the fitness center. Acting on this finding, the 50 North Board of Trustees charged its Planning and Operations Committee to further evaluate and carry out this recommendation . Since early 2015, this committee has been gathering feedback from stakeholders to develop concepts for a facility renovation and expansion and a local firm, RCM Architects, Inc ., was retained . RCM has prepared conceptual drawings for the renovation and expansion project and work is being done to receive input from user groups to assess the direction being taken . As this process has been ongoing, 50 North also hired a market research firm to conduct a sample survey of registered voters in Hancock County . The aim of this particular survey, among other topics, was to gauge the ‘appetite’ of Hancock County voters with regard to a potential levy request to help fund the 50 North facility renovation and expansion . The results revealed the following… • Overall, citizens believe it is very important for Hancock County to offer its senior citizens a senior center and to provide services such as mobile meals, chore services and minor home repairs, as well as health and wellness and outreach services for information referrals . • Two-thirds of the respondents are familiar with 50 North . • 50 North has an overall positive image in the community . • Nearly six in ten respondents have been to 50 North . The three most important reasons for going to 50 North is to participate in class/activity/program; to socialize and visit; and to eat a good meal . • Two-thirds of respondents agree that 50 North has been or will be a valuable resource to them . • More than two-thirds of the respondents were in favor of supporting a senior levy in May, 2017 . This gives us confidence that we are on the right track with our services, and that our organization will be highly needed well into the future as our population continues to age . Further, there is definite support for a levy campaign in May 2017 that could help fund the necessary renovation and expansion to meet the growing needs of our community* . With that said, we do not believe it is the taxpayers who should shoulder the entire financial obligation for this potential expansion and renovation project . Our Board of Trustees believes it is possible that we could also generate donations through a capital campaign that would target local companies and individuals . To test this concept, 50 North recently received a grant from The Community Foundation for yet another research project . We have engaged the consulting firm of Aly Sterling Philanthropy to conduct a feasibility study to assess the likelihood of a capital campaign being successful . The Aly Sterling consultants will be talking with key stakeholders in the community and gathering feedback to help us assess the viability of such a campaign . We’ll report on the findings in a future communication. I recognize that I’ve talked about a lot of research and study being conducted, yet I want to be totally transparent with you about what we are looking at and why . Furthermore, l want you to know that 50 North remains committed to taking the pulse of our users and our community at every important point in our evolution . We look at our research studies as a primary way to make sure we stay true to our mission and to continue to serve you . We cannot do that if we don’t stop and listen from time to time to what you and others have to say . We appreciate that you always speak your minds and are not shy about sharing your thoughts . Only through an open and honest dialog will we be able to best serve you and the community at large . Thank you for being such caring and involved partners as we grow! *50 North continues to experience tremendous growth .
