Helping Communities Thrive through sports & recreation
Sports and recreation facilities are quality of life and growth drivers for communities throughout the country because they help cities capitalize on opportunities and meet the following challenges:
• Lack of a modern, tournament-ready sports venue prevents you from capturing high-value events that drive sustained economic impact.
• Limited access to quality, program-based recreation facilities undermines efforts to improve residents’ health and social outcomes.
• Insufficient sports and recreation infrastructure restricts the creation of stable, local jobs tied to venue operations and programming.
• Inability to host large regional or national events limits out-of-town visitor spending in local hotels, restaurants, and shops.
• Quality of life and growth drivers Lack of space for community wellness – has negative impacts on the downstream social determinants of health.
