Market And Economic Analysis Of The Wicomico Youth & Civic Center

Dear Friend,

Wicomico County is embarking on a market and economic analysis of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center and you are enthusiastically invited to be a part of the process. The Maryland Stadium Authority has contracted nationally-renowned Crossroads Consulting Services of Tampa, Florida to conduct this study. Crossroads has completed similar studies throughout the country.  This study will involve two major phases: 1) a thorough market analysis and, 2) a projected economic impact analysis.

Phase I- Market Analysis

This includes components such as analyzing market characteristics; interviewing area stakeholders; reviewing historical event activity; profiles of area competitive facilities and studying other important factors.

Phase II- Economic Impact Analysis

This includes financial pro forma estimation of total economic impacts, written reports and deliverables.

Your engagement and input is vital to the study’s ultimate success and I am inviting you to attend a one hour kick-off event on Friday, February 25^th, at 10am in the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center DaNang Meeting rooms.  This will provide you with an opportunity to meet the consultants, understand the methodology and exchange initial thoughts on the study.

The Wicomico Youth & Civic Center brings more than great entertainment to our county. It continues to be a selling tool for out-of-area relocations, ripple effect economic spending, an asset to your business or organization for meetings and conferences and a tribute to the importance of a viable and vibrant Civic Center in our community.

Please RSVP by contacting Tammy Taylor at (410) 548-4900 x115 or ttaylor@wicomicocounty.org on or before February 23^rd, 2011.

Thanks for your consideration and strong support for our county.  Hope to see you at the Civic Center.

Sincerely,

Rick Pollitt
