Other attributes such as quality, size, accessibility, location, age, supporting amenities, and durability can be just as important. The most important considerations when looking at facilities needs to be the local demand, appropriateness, and availability of similar facilities. The standards do provide a good starting point for comparisons but cannot entirely represent the needs of Elk River.
