Project
Facility Rental
After visitation of the grounds and reviewing the potential, we see that the following options are available for renting out the facilities:
· Weddings
· School Fieldtrips
· Industry Functions
· Photo Shoots
· Scout Campouts
Weddings
The center offers a quaint area to hosting an outdoor wedding. These events can be held between the months of February through May and September through December.
Who:
Those who are looking for a lower cost but intimate setting area.
Cost:
The cost for this area can be set at $750.00, since it offers the center for holding needed space for wedding party necessity, restrooms, and means to hold catering area.
Staff:
The only staff needed is 1 to 2 people for monitoring the area. The contract should include the party is responsible for cleaning area as they found it.
Projections:
If 10 events can be scheduled, you look to gross $7500.00.
School Fieldtrips
Who:
NDC is a prime area to host fieldtrips to school, scout and summer camps. The center already has the facility for exploration and classroom instruction.
Cost:
The initial cost would be $5.00 per child.
Staff:
Classroom employed staff would be needed that are already on payroll.
Projections:
Looking at bringing in at least 20 weeks of visits at 2 groups per week with 15 averaged count groups would yield $3000.00.
Industry Functions
Who:
This would include companies who are looking to host a company function outside of their company settings for major convention events such as OTC (Offshore Technology Conference) or Logistics Conferences. Out of town companies take advantage of these sorts of venues that provide an area to hosting venues to serve food, drinks, dancing and area to host children areas.
Cost:
The cost would be $2500.00 with an added option of $500.00 to have an outside company to come and clean up the area. The renter would be required to hire security for the event.
Projections:
We are looking at the center to host at least 10 events with a gross revenue of $25,000.00.
Photo Shoot
Who:
The venue has the potential to rent out the facility for photo shoots for wedding, Quinceaneras, Sweet Sixteens etc.
Cost: a cost of $50.00 for non-sponsored and $25.00 for sponsored shoots can be collected. This would include a controlled area for the shoot without interruption that would be reserved and closed off from the public.
Projections:
If a project 50 events are scheduled throughout the year, an average of $1875.00 can be generated.
Scout Campouts
Who:
There is area to host Troop or Den Campouts to area troops while being close enough to metro needed necessities. This area would focus to teach or entertain tent builds, nature trails, badge earns, bird identification.
Costs:
Cost of $20 per scout. This would include having someone from the center on site during the campout with an additional cost of $100.00 to keep the facility open overnight.
Projections:
10 times a year would generate revenue of $1000.00 plus the amount of scouts that participate.
