a The entire structure is prefabricated steel, including the porch. <br />■ Building footings are concrete with ties under the arena floor. <br />■ Roofing and siding materials are metal. <br />Providing shade and weather protection for both participants and spectators will not only <br />enhance the user experience, it will also expand the Horse Park's calendar by affording more <br />months of operation and attracting more diversified equine activities, especially "A" rated <br />equestrian competitions, thereby increasing revenues and visitor volumes. Currently these <br />activities are hosted at fairgrounds and private venues across the State with covered or indoor <br />arenas. Many equestrian event organizers have expressed their strong interest in holding large <br />shows at more modern and conducive facilities as the Park represents. <br />Below is an artist's rendering of the planned covered arena without the screens down. The <br />arena is intended to be a bright and airy structure that will be inviting for horses and riders, and <br />preserve the sense of place of the Park's woodland setting. <br />The land where the covered arena will be built is currently lightly wooded, surrounded by <br />graveled parking and roadways, and has utilities (water, electric and sewer) adjacent to it. <br />There are no impediments to moving forward with the project once funding is secured. <br />2.
