But again, this is a much larger concept. podcast-host

I like to use the phrase from the movie Field of Dreams, if you build it, they will come. podcast-host

And if you look at the staff report here, we have a significant need for this. podcast-host

And I think that's what the Economic Development's paper kind of honestly points out that podcast-host

it can be a significant economic driver. podcast-host

You could have events there regularly, again, with a concentration on equine, and then following agriculture and other aspects of the program that were suggested. podcast-host

I may not agree with all the program that's suggested in here by staff, but I think that's where the emphasis, and I mean, quite frankly, I think if you have the right location, every weekend, this place is going to be filled if it's run correctly, and it's going to bring significant economic development. podcast-host

Now, to Supervisor Letourneau's point, podcast-host

I'd like to know how much money this soccer field has made us. podcast-host

I'd like to know how much any of the ball fields or any other sports structures that we build have actually made us. podcast-host

This should not be purely a... podcast-host

a economic analysis, and a lot of the comments that I've heard so far is, well, we need to look at this from a purely economic perspective, and I don't necessarily agree with that. podcast-host

Now, I do think that should be part of the analysis. podcast-host

I think we will find if we look at a number of different facilities that I have visited, and I think I'm probably the only one up here podcast-host

who has an agricultural background, and I have literally visited hundreds of these sorts of types of facilities throughout all the East Coast, up and down the East Coast, and I have seen how they have been used regularly. podcast-host

I mean, one of the things I'd like staff to look at if this is able to proceed forward is, podcast-host

a number of different facilities and that some of these have equine alliances suggested but uh... the virginia for center and the pennsylvania farm show complex an expo center uh... these are two that i had previously mentioned that our strategic planning meeting podcast-host

I'd also like the staff to look at what LCEA suggests, including the two World Equestrian Center locations in Ocala in Ohio. podcast-host

I'm not suggesting we need to build something that large, but I do think that they are really good examples of the types of concepts that I have had. podcast-host

when we put this in our strategic plan. podcast-host
