The goals were to ascertain public preferences regarding the redevelopment plan overall, specific amenities within the plan (such as a new rodeo grandstands), and to explore ways to fund the phase II of Fairgrounds redevelopment. To answer these questions, we developed an assessment plan consisting of two components: • A set of one-on-one interviews with key community leaders and Fairgrounds stakeholders, including ice sports enthusiasts, youth agricultural educators and leaders, neighbors, business leaders, local elected officials and others. • Scientifically valid telephone surveys, which were conducted by Harstad Strategic Research. Harstad is a well-respected research firm, with a long history of conducting community surveys in Missoula on important issues of the day. The community surveys and the stakeholder interviews were conducted over the summer and fall of 2019. Following the initial telephone survey of 502 voters in July, we determined that because the fairgrounds is complex with many stakeholder groups and aspects to plans, additional research was necessary. Accordingly, after consultation with Harstad and the Fairgrounds director, we conducted a secondary, supplemental telephone survey of another 502 voters. In addition, the Missoula Area Youth Hockey Association (MAYHA), which manages Glacier Ice Rink, determined that they needed an additional supplemental survey based on a scaled back ice facility. In total, this assessment is the result of communicating with 1,450 likely voters via a set of three telephone surveys, and 36 stakeholders and community leaders.
