Thank you so much for your input in the recent Byrnwyck survey. We had incredible participation - almost 100 of you took the time to share your thoughts, suggestions, compliments and concerns. Since there was such interest shown, we wanted to give you an overview of the results and next steps in this e-mail, but also invite you to continue to conversation on our website. Many of you raised important issues that deserve thoughtful discussion, and we've gotten those started on the Byrnwyck.org boards.
RESULTS OVERVIEW
We got a lot of great feedback in the survey, and those results can be seen in full as an Excel file on www.byrnwyck.org in the discussion board topics.
Specifically on the question of upgrades, almost 80% of us want to have some work done on the facilities, but the level of expense people are interested in varies. About 17% want "touch-ups" (up to $50k), 20% want "minor renovation" ($50k - $200k), 18% want "overhaul" ($200k and $400k), and 16% want a "major overhaul" ($400k - $750k). About 6% want a complete first class overhaul of $750k+.
While almost 40% are interested in spending $200k+ on the facilites, we heard from many people concerned about the economy or opposed to any improvements. Since any of these improvements must be voted on and passed by 2/3 of voting members (Inside Byrnwyck), the group of volunteers that has decided to work on this will certainly take everyone's input into consideration as we develop options to present to the community.
NEXT STEPS
Several of you have kindly offered to take part in the process, and we have set our first meeting for this Sunday, September 13th at 8pm at the Starbucks at Johnson Ferry and Ashford Dunwoody. All are welcome.
If you have any other thoughts, please use the discussion boards at Byrnwyck.org as your main vehicle to share them so that everyone has equal access to the conversations. And of course, the Byrnwyck Board of Directors is always eager to hear your thoughts and concerns directly.
Thanks so much.
