  • The Economic Impact of the Redevelopment of the Hartford Civic Center
    The Economic Impact of the Redevelopment of the Hartford Civic Center By Kathryn E. Parr, MA, Research Associate Bill Waite, MBA Research Assistance by: Marcello Graziano Jessica Tassan November 6, 2011 CONNECTICUT CENTER FOR ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Fred V. Carstensen, Director University of Connecticut 341 Mansfield Road, U‐1240 Storrs, CT 06269‐1240 Voice: 860‐486‐0485 Email: [email protected] http://ccea.uconn.edu Aetna funded the CCEA to produce an independent economic evaluation of New England Sports and Entertainment (NESE) proposed redevelopment of the Hartford Civic Center. The views expressed herein are the CCEA’s only and do not reflect those of Aetna or New England Sports and Entertainment. Hartford Civic Center Redevelopment II Executive Summary Opened in 1975, the Hartford Civic Center and Coliseum is one of the oldest venues in the southern New England area.1 At its peak circa 1988, the Center was home to an NHL franchise, the Hartford Whalers and hosted 318 events per year.2 Today, activity at the Center has declined. Its amenities are economically obsolete and its mechanical systems are aging. This report evaluates a plan to modernize and revitalize the Center and bring new entertainment options to the Hartford area. The goal would be to once more make it a hub of entertainment and economic activity in Hartford. The plans include a retrofit of the current structure, continuation of tenant events, increased numbers of other events, new tenants, a new atrium space with sport and other retail stores, a new food court, a new restaurant and sports bar, a new broadcast studio at street level, and a new IMAX theater.

  • New Arena Feasibility Study
    NEW ARENA FEASIBILITY STUDY City of Rapid City, South Dakota February 2018 February 23, 2018 Mayor Steve Allender City of Rapid City 300 Sixth Street Rapid City, South Dakota 57701 Dear Mayor Allender: Stone Planning LLC has completed its feasibility analysis of a potential new arena at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. 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.
