the Horse Park Authority must recruit a facility manager from the upper 90 percentile of <br />managers and suppod that manager with top-notch review and assistance by <br />professionalequestrian management professionals.Without an entrepreneurial <br />manager,it is unlikely that the facility will generate the alternativerevenue built into the <br />model.Finally,the facility will require subsidization from either private foundations or <br />public coffers of approximately$80,000 per year. <br />ECONOMIC IMPACTS <br />One means by which other facilities justify operating grants is through their impacts <br />upon local and regional economies.Therefore,an impact model based upon <br />expendituresof the horse park participants and expenditures for horse park operations <br />was developedto estimate financial flows to both the local and state economies and to <br />local and state finances.Using the "most likely"Scenario 3 at year six maturity,the <br />following impacts are projected: <br />*The direct spending by exhibitors and spectators are estimated to be $7,334,838 <br />when the facility reaches maturity in the sixth year of operations. <br />*The total money flows attributableto the horse park in the si×th year,including <br />indirect and induced effects,are $8,412,982 annually. <br />*Using the employmentmultiplier of 17 jobs per million dollars of direct <br />expendituresprojects,143 jobs will be created by the horse park after the direct, <br />indirect and induced effects are factored in. <br />*Starting at the sixth year,annual state impacts from out of state residents were <br />found to be $5,164,360 of direct,indirect and induced spending. <br />6
