    March 8, 2013 December 19, 2013 March 17, 2014 Mr. Russell Seymour Office of Economic Development 101-D Mounts Bay Road Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 Dear Mr. Seymour: Conventions, Sports & Leisure International (CSL), The Sports Facilities Advisory (SFA), and Counsilman- Hunsaker (C-H) are pleased to present this draft report regarding a financial and market feasibility study for an indoor recreational sports complex and a 50-meter competitive indoor aquatics center, both to be located in Williamsburg, Virginia. The attached report summarizes our research and analyses and is intended to assist James City County in making informed decisions regarding the projects. The information contained in this report is based on estimates, assumptions and other information developed from research of the market, knowledge of similar sports complexes and other factors, including certain information James City County and other project stakeholders have provided. All information provided to us by James City County, facility management at competitive/comparable facilities, local and regional sports organizations, demographic providers and other sources was not audited or verified and was assumed to be correct. Furthermore, there will be differences between projected and actual results. This is because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this project and would be pleased to be of further assistance in the interpretation and application of the study’s findings. Very truly yours, CSL International, The Sports Facilities Advisory, and Counsilman-Hunsaker Conventions, Sports & Leisure International 520 Nicollet Mall • Suite 440 • Minneapolis, MN 55402 • Telephone 612.294.2000 • Facsimile 612.294.2045 TABLE OF CONTENTS _______________ Executive Sumary ......................................................................................................
