It is important because it illustrates that the spending patterns <br />of the service area align with the resources available. It also points to the fact that <br />compared to a national level and dollars available, the money being spent in the Primary <br />Service Area is lower. This could point to challenges associated with the ability to pay for <br />programs and services offered at a recreation facility of any variety.
