Feasibility Study
Exploring a Multigenerational Community Center for Mason County
In the fall of 2022, the Community Center Exploration Committee (CCEC) was established to assess the feasibility of developing a community recreation facility that enhances health, wellness, and recreational opportunities for Mason County residents of all ages. To guide this effort, the CCEC hired PROS Consulting to conduct a feasibility study examining local market conditions, operational costs, potential revenue streams, staffing needs, and optimal programming.
The study aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing amenities and assets, identifying gaps and opportunities to enhance and complement recreational offerings in Mason County. The CCEC’s role was to gauge community interest in a potential facility and programming or enhancement of existing recreational facilities and programs in Mason County. The committee also remains committed to ensuring that this information is shared and made widely available to the broader community.
It is the CCEC’s hope that this study serves as a valuable resource for organizations, entrepreneurs, and community leaders in shaping future projects across the county. The findings are intended to inform community planning efforts and highlight opportunities for innovation and investment.
The feasibility study is now complete and available to the greater community. Here are a few key takeaways:
