Dear Hampton Boater:

We are conducting a survey of recreational boaters in Hampton to learn more about the economic importance of boating to the local economy. You were chosen to participate in the enclosed survey because you have at least one boat registered in Hampton, Virginia. Information from this study will help estimate the total economic impact of boating to your community. This study is funded by the City of Hampton through a contract with the Virginia Sea Grant College Program at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

Your completed survey is the only source of information for documenting issues of importance to boaters as well as the economic importance of this part of Virginia’s marine industry. All responses will be kept confidential. It is vital that we receive as much input as possible to increase the validity of the survey.

Should you have any questions or comments, please contact Thomas Murray at (804) 684-7190.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.

Sincerely,
Ross A. Mugler
Commissioner of the Revenue
