WORK PROGRAM <br /> Task 1. Data Gathering and Direct Impacts <br /> Our work will begin with a comprehensive review of existing data sources. <br /> We will mine existing data sources as well as data gathered by the City of <br /> Everett, AquaSox, Funko Field, and other relevant stakeholders on visitation <br /> and operations. <br /> The project will begin with a kick-off meeting to align expectations on <br /> deliverables and timeline. Additionally, this kick-off meeting will be <br /> leveraged to discuss data collected by the City of Everett, the Everett School <br /> District, Funko Field and the AquaSox. Specific data required for the <br /> analysis includes, but is not limited to: <br /> • Jobs, wages, business revenues and visits at Funko Field. We <br /> will collaborate with the City of Everett and other stakeholders to <br /> understand the data available on activities at Funko Field and the <br /> AquaSox. The request will look at both pre-pandemic data as well as <br /> after the MiLB rules went into effect. CAI will also work with the City <br /> of Everett to understand data available for the Angels of the Wind <br /> Arena as well as the 3 potential alternative sites for the AquaSox. <br /> • Visitation and visitor spending patterns. In addition to gathering <br /> data on the operations of Funko Field and the AquaSox, we will gather <br /> data on visitors to Funko Field and their spending patterns. We will <br /> leverage any data gathered directly by stakeholders, any data <br /> available from Angels of the Wind Arena events, as well as publicly <br /> available spending data through Dean Runyan and Associates. <br /> We will also leverage any existing research, including studies on the <br /> economic impacts of MiLB team operations on local communities, other <br /> sports teams and similar event venues, as well as the differences in impact <br /> depending on the proximity of other businesses. <br /> Deliverable: Draft report outline with interim draft findings <br /> Task 2. Economic Impact Analysis <br /> We will leverage our expertise in economic impact modeling to produce <br /> estimates of the total economic impacts of the AquaSox events to the <br /> Snohomish County economy. This will include economic impacts from facility <br /> operations and visitor spending impacts prior to the pandemic (2019) and in <br /> 2021. The analysis will also cover the potential differences in impact based <br /> on 2-3 alternative sites. <br /> Findings will be reported as jobs, wages, and supported business revenues, <br /> including impacts supported through business-to-business transactions <br /> EVERETT AQUASOX PAGE 3 <br /> ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY COMMUNITY ATTRIBUTES, INC. <br />
