COMMUNITY FIRST CHAMPION CENTER <br />APPLETON, WISCONSIN <br />In 2015, CSL assisted the Fox Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau comprehensively evaluate the market, <br />programmatic, financial and economic feasibility of a new Indoor Hardwood Sports Complex and an expanded/new <br />multi -sheet Ice Complex in the Fox Cities. As envisioned, the facilities would drive new visitation and economic <br />impact to the Fox Cities destination, as well as enhance rental, practice and other special event facility alternatives <br />available for area residents. The Fox Cities Champion Center, offering a combination of ice and hardcourt facilities, <br />opened in Fall 2019. <br />CSL has been engaged by the Fox Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau (FCCVB) numerous times over the years. In <br />2013, CSL was re-engaged by the FCCVB to provide business planning advisory services, including an updated <br />market analysis associated with the Fox Cities Exhibition Center and the overall related convention facility product <br />that includes existing conference space provided within the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel. In order to plan and <br />implement a successful development, ownership, management and operational framework for the project based on <br />industry best practices and to best protect the interests of the public sector, CSL provided targeted advisory <br />assistance to the FCCVB and other relevant stakeholders in planning for funding, partner/stakeholder roles and <br />other business planning aspects for the convention center project. <br />CSL had previously been engaged by the FCCVB in 2008 and again in 2009, first to conduct a feasibility study for a <br />new convention center and then to provide professional services related to the planning, evaluation and transaction <br />assistance concerning a potential public/private partnership agreement for a new convention center development <br />and associated headquarters hotel (existing or new) in the Fox Cities area. <br />CSL International -Indoor Amateur Sports Facility Qualifications • Page 5 C✓�� <br />
