    I live in Back Creek. I have been involved in swimming at all three levels in the are, USA, high school and summer leagues. We have needed more recreation in the area for decades, and our facilities are sadly outdated. I seriously hope the Board will support the 2 for 2 foundation to provide the funding needed for such great facilities and prevent raising taxes with this public private partnership. Thank you.

    Come on Frederick County! Let’s truly be the Top of Virginia. I support the 2 for 2 Foundation’s mission to increase recreational facilities in our area. This is a beautiful place to live and a great location to raise a family, but with all the recent growth we really need the Board of Supervisors’ help to make this project happen. We need an aquatic center!

    I am a resident of the Opequen district. I am writing to support the Board forming a partnership with the 2 for 2 foundation to develop a much needed aquatics and ice rink facility. As I have lived here all my life, swam four years in high school, coach in the Shenandoah Valley Summer Swim League, and currently coach for Valley Swim Team Phoenix I fully support a partnership to help the swimming and ice skating community. As a coach I have visited all of the facilities in our area and none are up to par with surrounding counties. Imagine having a community that encourages their children to learn how to swim which is a life skill by the way. You are helping the people of our community learn a LIFE LONG skill that is necessary to their well being. The BOS has stated several times that they want a public private partnership. Well, it sounds like the 2 for 2 foundation fits the bill. Please vote in favor of partnering. The individuals of this community deserve to learn how to swim and skate in a fantastic facility.

    I live in Back Creek. I am now a sophomore at UMW, and I spent most of life in the water. I am writing to ask the Board to support the 2 for 2 foundation so that all the families in Frederick county can have great recreation opportunities. I also teach swimming and am a life guard and this will provide jobs and prevent drowning! The foundation is a great opportunity for the county to provide world class recreation without raising taxes! Please support the 2 for 2

    I support the 2 for 2 to bring an aquatic center and Ice skating rink to Frederick county. It’s the least this county could do to bring some family fun things to our area….. there’s nothing to offer here.

    I fully support the board of supervisors' partnership with the 2 For 2 Foundation to bring an ice skating and aquatic facility to Frederick County. This would better support opportunities to enhance community activities for all ages, as well as youth sport and fitness. This type of facility would also benefit swimmers and swim teams locally and in surrounding areas. Thank you for your consideration of this project.

    I am a resident of Opequen district. I am writing to support the Board forming a partnership with the 2 for 2 foundation to develop much needed recreational facilities in Frederick County. As a life long resident of the area, I have been looking forward to new facilities for a very long time. My daughter and all of her friends are or were competitive swimmers, and the lack of facilities in this area is disappointing. We often travel to other counties for events, and there are hundreds of swimmers present. Imagine this in our area, what a financial boon. The BOS has stated they want a public private partnership. Well, the 2 for 2 foundation will most definitely fit the bill. This foundation will develop the facilities our children and their children so desperately deserve.

    This is a once in a life time opportunity for kids and aduts to bring a skating ring to our area for the winter and great attraction for visitors also; much needed place for your hundreds of kids who swim and can not wait to have a olympic size pool to compete with norther va kids and not feel left out

    I fully support the partnership with 2 for 2 foundation to bring a much needed aquatic facility to our area. The lifelong benefits in health and safety will benefit all of our community members. Our youth athletes are also in desperate need of a facility to reach their potential. Thank you for considering.

    I cannot edit my comment which is mistakenly labeled as oppose. I want to correct the record as I strongly SUPPORT this. I live in the Red Bud district and am interested in teaching in the area in the coming years. The 2 for 2 foundation proposal would provide a much needed facility to the area and prevent citizens and athletes from the area from needing to travel to other areas that provide such services and facilities. This would be great for business, it would properly accommodate the growth we’ve seen and will continue to see in this area, and will provide a much needed facility for practice and meets for our kids and local schools. Please support this initiative.

    I’m in support of the proposal by 2 x 2. This would be a much needed addition to our community. This would also help revenue for the county as well. An aquatics facility has been a need for this community for a long time and as the parent of a swimmer I know how much it would be used by not just our teams but also by others who enjoy swimming. Please support this proposal by 2 by 2 for our community. Thank you.

    I support the board of supervisors partnering with the 2 for 2 foundation to make the ice skating and aquatic centers possible for our kids and our kids’ kids. This facility would be well utilized by our immediate community and also bring others in for events. Giving our kids access to sports and facilities will help increase social/emotional and physical well being.

    I am writing to support the Board of Supervisors forming a public private partnership with the 2 for 2 foundation to construct a new aquatics and ice center for the citizens of Frederick County. The 2 for 2 foundation will provide the funding that the Board has requested to build these much needed facilities. This partnership will prevent raising taxes and incurring further debt and allow the county to have facilities that its hard working residents and their children deserve.
