SELF SUSTAINING <br />a.) Existing Plans - <br />The museum is currently and actively engaged in developing a business <br />model and cost assessment for the redevelopment and restoration of the <br />upstairs ballroom and office spaces. <br />b.) Cost Recovery Models - <br />The ballroom and office spaces - once refurbished - will provide monthly <br />rental income toward the operating costs of the museum. <br />The Museum is also in negotiations to rent gallery space, gift store window <br />space and upstairs storage space to the Rodeo Board Hall of Fame to house <br />and show their extensive collection. This collaboration will bring in monthly <br />income to help museum operating costs to help us become self-sustaining. <br />Additional Information - <br />Our redesigned web page and current advertising model is creating new and <br />increased tourism traffic to the museum, designed and targeted towards <br />tourists from throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. With increased <br />advertising we could reach a wider audience even still through television and <br />radio along with all other approved advertising, positively impacting <br />membership for the museum, further sustainability for the museum and <br />increased tourism dollars for Kittitas county. <br />%'CV.
