The Board of Directors voted unanimously at our March 26, 2014, 7 a.m. Board of Directors meeting to recommend that the City of Bozeman fund the full request made by Bozeman Sports Park to build a multi-phase project designed to meet the current and future needs of the Bozeman field sport community, specifically youth soccer and lacrosse, while providing a neighborhood park, urban open space, and Safe-Route-To-School benefits for Bozeman's northwestern neighborhoods. The Bozeman Sports Park has the potential of generating over$3.5 million dollars in annual visitor expenditures for Bozeman gas stations, retail stores, restaurants and will account for nearly 5,000 new market hotel stays each and every year. Thank you in advance for consideration to fund the Bozeman Sports Park. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 406-922-0448. Sincerely, JYV Da Schlie Preside t/CEO Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce Cc: Cyndy Andrus-City Commissioner Chris Mehl -City Commissioner Carson Taylor—Deputy Mayor I-Ho Pomeroy-City Commissioner Jeff Graff—City TOP Staff
