The attached report presents the results of our research, analysis, findings, and conclusions and recommendations, and is intended to assist the City in evaluating the viability of the facility. The analyses presented in this report are based on estimates, assumptions, and other information developed from industry research, data provided by the City, the RPCC, and others, interviews with local and industry stakeholders, and analysis of other facilities and markets. The sources of information and the basis of assumptions, estimates, and forecasts 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 are based on analysis of present and near-term conditions in the Rapid City area, as well as existing interest levels by potential users for a new arena at the RPCC. Any significant changes in the characteristics of the local community, such as change in population, corporate inventory, and/or competitive facilities, could materially impact conclusions and recommendations developed in this study. As in all studies of this type, the estimated results are based on competent and efficient management of the potential facility and assume that no significant changes in the event markets or assumed immediate and local area market conditions will occur beyond those set forth in this report.

Introduction The City of Evansville, Indiana is pleased to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) its 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Project goals outlined in the plan were determined through citizens' participation at three public meetings where participants discussed community development and housing needs, including the completion of a survey. Due to COVID-19 and the suspension of public contact the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was displayed on the City of Evansville website. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) prepared by Prosperity Indiana provided a summary of the existing fair housing condition in Evansville, with five-year remediation goals. A marketing plan of the public service area, Evansville, prepared by Bowens National Research provided housing data on the existing PSA and five submarkets; Central Area, Near East, East, North, and West, including three submarkets of the Central Area; Arts District, Downtown District, and Jacobsville District. Through the use of these tools Evansville will be able to carry out reasonable community and housing goals with positive outcomes. Evansville Indiana, established in 1812, today is the third-largest city in the state of Indiana with an estimated population of 117,429. Situated along the scenic Ohio River, Evansville is centrally located providing highway access to and from major cities; Indianapolis, Indiana is 170 miles north via Interstate 69, Louisville, Kentucky is 120 miles east via Interstate 64, St.
