After the city of Manhattan sent surveys to its registered voters Nov. 3 to gauge support for an indoor aquatics facility, the results are in — and generally not in support of a facility in its proposed form.

While the city initially sought a return of 400 surveys, it received 1,361 responses — a return rate of 26%. Of those responses, 55% did not support an indoor aquatics facility at any location, 23% preferred one be located at CiCo Park and 15% supported any location.

The proposed indoor facility included plans for both competitive and recreational pools, with a total estimated cost of around $60 million.
