Abstract
The purpose of this report is to measure the economic impact of the proposed Diamond State
Sports and Learning Center (DSSLC) to the State of Delaware. The primary data source for this research is the independent feasibility study by C. H. Johnson, Inc., which provides revenue, employment, event, and attendance projections. Economic impact studies are used across the nation to measure the impact of various projects, events and industries. Such studies are used to understand the benefits that flow from a particular project, event or industry. The facility would offer recreational and competitive athletic opportunities as well as increased educational opportunities for children. The sports facilities would primarily be oriented for use by regional sports organizations and teams. The planned DSSLC would fill an unmet need for such facilities in the local marketplace.
