IV. Project Timeline <br />Planning & Permits: Start 2025 – Complete 2026 <br />Construction Start: Spring 2026 <br />Project Completion: Fall 2027 <br />Opening to Public: Open during construction <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />V. Feasibility and Risk Management <br />1. Feasibility <br />The WSHP project is highly feasible, backed by a strong track record of sustainable operations, <br />diversified funding, and successful capital project implementation. To date, the Park has <br />secured over $11.5 million in public and private investment, including $5.8 million in State <br />Capital Funds, $2.4 million from county and city sources, $5.3 million in operating revenue, and <br />more than $2.7 million in private donations—complemented by in-kind support and over <br />$650,000 in volunteer contributions. <br />The project site is already secured and shovel ready, eliminating acquisition delays and allowing <br />construction to begin promptly. WSHP has worked with experienced contractors to create full <br />buildout plan and has identified resources to support the construction of our project upon <br />funding. We also have a ongoing relationship with the local and regional fire agencies which <br />has helped us stay abreast of emerging fire safety requirements. <br />A phased plan provides additional flexibility, enabling WSHP to prioritize critical infrastructure <br />upgrades and adapt to available resources without compromising long term outcomes. With this <br />foundation in place, the Park is well-positioned to complete the proposed improvements on time <br />and deliver lasting economic and community benefits. <br />2. Risk Management <br />Potential risks for the WSHP infrastructure project include construction delays or budget <br />overruns. These risks are mitigated through a well-established phased approach that allows the <br />project to scale based on available funding, ensuring that the most urgent and high-impact <br />improvements can move forward even if full funding is not immediately available. WSHP also <br />maintains strong relationships with experienced vendors, contractors, and community <br />sponsors, which helps manage costs, streamline timelines, and provide additional support if <br />unexpected challenges arise. This combination of flexibility, planning, and trusted partnerships <br />positions the project for successful and timely completion.
