Economic Research and Management Consultants July 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BUSINESS PLAN FOR THE DESERT DISCOVERY CENTER This report presents a business plan for Desert Discovery Center (DDC) to be located adjacent to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve Gateway in Scottsdale, Arizona. The DDC business plan reflects the 2017 DDC concept, operating concept, proposed operating partnerships, site and architectural plans and concepts, Exhibition Concept Design, project scale and target capital cost and the relationship of DDC to its site and the overall McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The full design analyses and concepts are presented under separate cover, and are the specific project concept that this business plan is based on. This business plan also reflects input received from the DDC design team and Desert Discovery Center Scottsdale (DDCS), the not- for-profit organization that is leading the planning for and fundraising the 501(c)(3) organization, charged with developing the plans for DDCS and raising support and funding for its successful development. The research and analysis undertaken in preparing this DDC business plan were based on the following tasks: ♦ Evaluate, from a market and operating perspective, the site and facility concepts; ♦ Analyze the resident and tourist markets available to support DDC; ♦ Research the experience of other desert and arid place interpretive centers for their operating experiences and practices, and their success strategies; ♦ Analyze the attendance potential of DDC as currently planned; ♦ Estimate the operational revenue potential of the DDC concept as planned given its attendance potential and operating plan; ♦ Prepare a personnel plan and pro-forma operating budgets commensurate with DDC’s operating opportunity, the physical and exhibit plans and to support DDC’s success and fulfillment of its mission and objectives; ♦ For all baseline pricing, revenue and operating factors, unless otherwise noted, amounts are inflated from 2017 value of the dollar to 2021 estimated future value to reflect the planned opening date in October 2021.

  • Comprehensive Review of the 2019 Blessing of the Fleet by Richard Lord, MPA, BOF Chairman 2015-2018 October 21, 2019 (Updated 11/21/19)
    Comprehensive Review of the 2019 Blessing of the Fleet By Richard Lord, MPA, BOF Chairman 2015-2018 October 21, 2019 (Updated 11/21/19) Introduction I was thrilled there was a 2019 Blessing of the Fleet (BOF). However, I was not pleased with the overall event. The live band music was the highlight of the BOF, but it was so sparse overall of just a few evening hours of a 16 hr. two dayslong event, that the lack of afternoon live band music was the major factor for the dissatisfaction and disappointment in the BOF. This, and other significant programmatic and structural deficiencies, represented a steep decline in the quality of the event from the excellence of the 2018 BOF and those that proceeded it. This Review is not to denigrate the 2019 BOF and its organizers. As the former Chairman from 2015-2018, I fully appreciate the considerable time and effort that went into the production of the 2019 BOF by its now five new Chairmen, and to their great credit as BOF novices, I am surprised it only took the five of them to replace me. Rather, if there is to be a 2020 BOF, I seek to be instructive to restore the BOF to its former state of distinction. As Chairman of the BOF for the last four years, no one knows the production and management challenges better than I. Further, no one knows better how to promote and manage this fine event. Thus, this Review is to provide guidance to the 2020 BOF organizers enabling them to return the event to its outstanding 2018 single-day Saturday production framework and programming constructing a BOF well worth attending and continuing.

    Urban Planning (ISSN: 2183–7635) 2018, Volume 3, Issue 2, Pages 1–20 DOI: 10.17645/up.v3i2.1247 Article The City of the Future Garry Glazebrook 1,* and Peter Newman 2 1 Department of Design, Architecture and Building, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW 2007, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute (CUSP), Perth, WA 6845, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] * Corresponding author Submitted: 31 October 2017 | Accepted: 5 March 2018 | Published: 24 April 2018 Abstract Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will require rapid decarbonisation of the world’s electricity and transport systems. This must occur against a background of continuing urbanisation and the shift to the information economy. While replacement of fossil fuels in electricity generation is underway, urban transport is currently dominated by petrol and diesel-powered ve- hicles. The City of the Future will need to be built around a different transport and urban paradigm. This article argues that the new model will be a polycentric city linked by fast electric rail, with local access based on autonomous “community”- owned electric cars and buses supplemented by bicycles, electric bikes and scooters, with all electricity generated from renewables. Less space will be wasted on roads and parking, enabling higher accessibility yet more usable public open space. Building the cities of the future will require national governments to accelerate local initiatives through appropri- ate policy settings and strategic investment. The precise way in which individual cities move into the future will vary, and the article illustrates how the transformation could work for Australian cities, like Sydney, currently some of the most car dependent in the world, using new financial and city partnerships.
