P. 13 <br />JOHNSON <br />CONSULTING <br />important to think about special niche markets the venue should target and who should own and operate the <br />facility, as these factors can affect demand and funding for these types of venues. The Consulting Team will <br />follow a well- developed approach that we have successfully used in conducting similar studies throughout <br />North America. <br />TASK 9 - PROJECT ORIENTATION AND FIELD WORK <br />Over an intensive two -day data collection and site analysis work session, Johnson Consulting will meet with <br />representatives of the CCCC, Lee County, the hotel market, and other stakeholders to confirm objectives of <br />the study, develop clear lines of communication, review project methodology, and conduct initial fieldwork. <br />Among the tasks to be performed during this step are: <br />• Hold a workshop with Client representatives to discuss the proposed project from both a needs and <br />conceptual planning perspective. <br />• Gather and analyze background information related to the project, including any prior research or <br />analyses that may have been conducted by, or for, the Client. <br />• Tour the campus of CCCC and the surrounding area, including key business and commercial <br />corridors, and any potential sites, if appropriate. <br />' Review the CCCC and Lee County's near - and long -term economic development objectives, <br />including area redevelopment efforts. <br />■ Meet with Sanford Chamber of Commerce, Lee County Parks and Recreation, CCCC's Athletics and <br />Events Departments, and other local stakeholders to discuss their vision and thoughts on the <br />potential facilities. <br />• Identify competitive and comparable markets for use in developing case studies regarding innovative <br />facility strategies and development approaches. <br />• Only if appropriate (or at a later date), hold a public workshop to discuss the project and present <br />example facilities types so the public understands what is being considered. <br />■ Identify appropriate contacts and resources necessary to ensure complete review and assessment of <br />issues and specific data. <br />■ Hold various meetings as described in the tasks below. <br />6 East Monroe Street I Fifth Floor I Chicago, Illinois 60603 1 Phone: 312.447.2010 1 Fax: 312.444.1125 <br />www.chic.com I cIohnsonAchic corn <br />
