J OHNSON C ONSULTING, I NC. EXPERTS IN CONVENTION, SPORT AND REAL ESTATE CONSULTING INTRODUCTION The Board of Commissioners of Escambia County engaged C.H. Johnson Consulting, Inc. (Johnson Consulting) to perform an economic study to analyze different alternatives for the best use of the property and improvements associated with the Pensacola Civic Center in terms of facility offerings, operations, direct economic impact, quality of life and revenue generation to the County. There can be a brighter future for the Pensacola Civic Center. In our view, the presence of the Civic Center results in a strategic asset for the region. The community is better off with it than without it. There have been a few strategic errors made in the past regarding the Civic Center: Its Masterplan called for a mid-sized exhibit hall to round out the arena product. The fact that this was never built has affected the attractiveness for flat show and convention events and requires the arena floor to be used for such activities, or they bypass the market. While the balance of downtown Pensacola has undergone, what we characterize as a wonderful and attractive redevelopment, the Civic Center itself, over time has become further and further disconnected from the downtown core. The evolution of the road network around the Civic Center has hemmed in the site. The recent deployment of its largest parking lots for the new Technological Park has affected patron convenience for parking and has hamstrung its accessibility somewhat further. So, to date, the Civic Center has been: Out of Sight- Out of mind Is under scrutiny for a variety of reasons Has compromised its ability to attract flat floor events, but has bought into ice events instead, and Has compromised its site attributes over time but the accumulation of these choices has now become a competitive liability. The balance of this report provides data justifying our recommendations for use by the County as it seeks to remedy these strategic short falls.

EXPERTS IN CONVENTION, SPORT AND REAL ESTATE CONSULTING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The location of Pensacola creates an opportunity for it to serve as a metropolitan hub for a broader region extending to Mobile to the west, Panama City to the east, and Tallahassee to the northeast. The City of Pensacola and Escambia County region have done an outstanding job of becoming a tourist attraction with its amazing climate and fantastic beaches. Concurrently, there is an opportunity for the Civic Center to serve a regional role, coupled with the significant revitalization of Downtown Pensacola, making it a more vibrant and attractive site. This regional attraction is even more important with population within Escambia County projected to decrease in future years. The County’s ability to draw people from a regional location will help boost the local economy. The Pensacola Civic Center, over the last decade or so, has operated “out of sight – out of mind”. It has entered into the cross heirs of attention recently for several key reasons. Its debt and operating subsidy has historically (and obligatorily) been paid from Tourist Development taxes as well as County support. Largely due to a poorly written hockey lease and downward operating performance due to the economy, the Civic Center’s deficit
