WPOA Survey of Property Owners 2022
Amenity Upgrade/ Improvements
Upgrades to Chestnut Spring Pool (29% supports WPOA investment in this project despite likely increased assessment) and additional walking paths in Stoney Creek (29%) engender most support among surveyed Wintergreen owners.
However, most (33%) do not support any of the proposed projects. When those respondents are set aside, additional walking paths in Stoney Creek (26%) comes on top followed by upgrades to Chestnut Springs Pool (21%).
When comparing mountain and valley property owners, the most significant differences are in support for additional walking paths in Stoney Creek (64% of valley property owners support it, compared to 12% of mountain property owners), upgrades to Rodes Farm Pool (39% valley vs. 9% mountain), upgrades to Chestnut Springs Pool (8% valley vs. 39% mountain) and adding additional tennis/pickleball court at Chestnut Springs Pool area (5% valley vs. 29% mountain).
Adding walking paths in Stoney Creek is a clear favorite (55% support it the most) among valley property owners, while upgrades to Chestnut Springs Pool (33%) is the most popular project among mountain property owners.
Similarly, additional walking paths in Stoney Creek (51% of primary residents support it, compared to 17% of non-primary residents) and upgrades to Rodes Farm Pool (30% vs. 12%), are most popular among primary residents, while upgrades to Chestnut Springs Pool (15% primary vs. 36% non-primary) and additional tennis/pickleball court at Chestnut Springs Pool area (10% primary vs. 27% non-primary) are most popular among non-primary residents. Support for proposed projects is very similar among Wintergreen Resort Club members and non-members, as well as owners of undeveloped lots and the rest of the owners.
Approximately a quarter (24%) of survey respondents made additional suggestions for improvements and amenities such as additional restaurants and eateries, electric car charging stations, dog parks, additional hiking and biking trails, more/better/indoor pools, recycling bins, a gathering place at the mountain, a package delivery facility, arcades, archery, basketball courts and more.
