Here are seven events that prove Georgia is more than capable of ensuring any kind of sports event will go off without a hitch. TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola DeKalb County 1 The TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola is held annually at Atlanta’s renowned East Lake Golf Club in DeKalb County, the formative home of the legendary Bobby Jones. In 2004, East Lake was named the permanent home to the TOUR Championship by Coca Cola, the FedExCup Playoff Finale and the season-ending event for the PGA TOUR. With this year’s event taking place September 24-27, players compete for an $8,250,000 purse at the oldest golf club in Atlanta. The tournament primarily benefits the East Lake Foundation and First Tee. The club serves as the driving force behind the effort to revitalize the surrounding neighborhood. All profits from the club, as well as charita - ble donations from the club’s corporate membership, support the East Lake Foundation and its remarkable redevelopment project. The top 30 players in FedExCup points (after the BMW Championship) qualify for the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola at the FedExCup Play- off Finale. FedExCup points are reset prior to the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola, ensuring a real shootout as all 30 players in the field will have a mathematical chance of winning the FedExCup with a victory at the event. Mitsubishi Electric Classic Gwinnett County 2 Formerly known as the Greater Gwinnett Championship, this PGA Savannah’s famous Tour’s Champions Tour is held in Gwinnett County annually at the TPC historic district is the setting for the Rock ̓n’ Sugarloaf in Duluth, which spans 1,200 acres of Georgia countryside Roll Savannah Marathon within the gated community of Sugarloaf Country Club.

The attached document presents our research, analysis and findings and is intended to assist the Tennessee State Fair and Exposition Commission (Commission) and other stakeholders in evaluating the viability of the project. The analysis presented in this report is based on estimates, assumptions and other information developed from industry research, data provided by the study’s stakeholders, surveys of potential facility users and local representatives, discussions with industry participants and analysis of competitive/comparable facilities and communities. The sources of information, the methods employed, and the basis of significant estimates and assumptions are stated in this report. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Therefore, actual results achieved will vary from those described and the variations may be material. The findings presented herein are based on analysis of present and near-term conditions in Tennessee as well as existing interest levels by the potential base of users of the facility project. Any significant future changes in the characteristics of the local community, such as growth in population, corporate inventory, competitive inventory and visitor amenities/attractions, could materially impact the key market conclusions developed as a part of this study.

Signed:___________________________________ PLANNING FOR INCIDENTS AT SPECIAL EVENTS 3 Abstract Forsyth County plays host to dozens of special events every year where hundreds to tens of thousands of participants gather. The problem is FCFD does not initiate a plan to deal with incidents that may occur at special events in Forsyth County. The purpose of this research is to determine the need for developing a plan to deal with potential incidents at special events in Forsyth County. The descriptive research method was used to conduct the research. Research included a literature review of current authors, surveys and interviews used to answer the following questions: a) what national standards are available regarding planning for special events? b) What steps are taken by other organizations to plan for special events? c) What criteria determine the need for an Incident action plan? d) What special events take place in Forsyth County? and e) what other agencies should be involved in planning for special events in Forsyth County? Surveys were completed by several Georgia fire departments to help answer the research questions. Interviews and personal communications were also conducted with several key members of the FCFD and others granting permission for special events.
