Heritage Development Group

The proposal: A 189,000-square-foot complex containing an events center, a Western heritage museum, kids' activity areas, vendors' outlets and a convention center. The group is hoping a private developer would offer to build the hotel.

Location: The group has not identified a location for the complex.

Developing, construction, equipping and programming costs: Approximately $41 million, which does not include the cost of a hotel. Operating costs: About $4.25 million over five years. In addition, the group has proposed mounting an $8 million Broadway-style Wild West show in the arena and financing the show with a combination of public dollars and private funding. The cost of mounting the show is included in the estimated $41 million for developing, equipping and programming.

Revenues: The group estimates that the complex would generate $5.87 million in revenues over a five-year period and yield a $1.62 million profit for the city.

Anyone have any guesses WHERE this show may come from or WHO may be running it...? Would they take bids for who gets the show or would it automatically default to a local family running a not-so-great place to eat???
