24. Why we need the Staunton Performing Arts Center 1. Entertainment: To enhance entertainment and educational opportunities in the region by providing a state-of-the-art venue. 2. Economy: To enhance the economic success of the City of Staunton and Augusta County, thus supporting “destination tourism” by creating a “Theatre District.” 3. Children: To provide a live, major theatre experience for children that cannot be provided in our schools and will supplement their arts education. 4 Architecture: To save The Dixie, one of America’s most unique Art Moderne theatres of the 1930s – an architecturally-significant historic theatre designed by the renowned theatre architect John Eberson (1875–1954). 5. Quality of Life: To enrich the quality of life in this culturally rich area and historic community.

27. Create a month-by-month organizational plan – how the funds will be raised for the project and steps taken that take us through construction to opening. Create a detailed and compelling “operating business plan” for the first 2-3 years of operation once the project is complete – with commitments from potential users and partners.
