This year a long term Parks and Recreation study was done for Farmville.  I have not read the study but had a conversationwith Farmville's town manager, Richard Hicks.  (Richard is my father.) There are some key points that I would like bring out of the study: 1.  Farmville is expected to experience great growth in the next 5-10 years.  The population currently is about 4,500.  They anticipate the population to surge to around 7,000!  2.  The town needs to improve the parks and recreation department as a whole.  One of the major takeaways was Farmville needs a wellness center, for lack of a better term.
