ENSURE HIGH-QUALITY PUBLIC SERVICES There are several local, county and regional entities that offer high-quality services to residents of Hanahan including recreation, education, police and fire protection, and emergency services. When asked about the level of satisfaction with facilities and services in the Public Participation Survey, over half of respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with the facilities and services provided to them, as seen in Figure X. Additionally, parks and recreation facilities were consistently mentioned throughout the survey, indicating that the respondents are particularly interested in the quality and range of this service. However, several respondents indicated that continued maintenance of existing facilities is just as important as constructing new facilities or offering more services. Other public services specifically mentioned were police and fire protection, education, and city government. The existing quality and diversity of parks and recreation facilities make up a large part of the quality-of-life index that Hanahan promotes. In November 2020, Hanahan issued a parks and recreation referendum, proposing to expand and upgrade the recreational services and facilities within the city. Some of the projects mentioned in the 2020 referendum are described below.
