7. The Champaign Park District has asked for full name and addresses to go along with the responses. These will not be visible to the public or be disseminated to anyone apart from Champaign Park District staff and Josh McNattin, the administrator of this survey. $900,000 in Illinois First Grant funds have gone towards the Virginia restoration as well as ticket funds and memberships, so if you're not from Champaign, take heart, your opinion counts!
