Hello, to whom it may concern December 8, 2010
My name is Michael L Lindsay, and I live in Chesapeake, Ohio. I am writing to you to
day, so I can tell you about a great ideal I have ..... now I know you hear this million times a
days (right?) But in these tough times, people need good ideals ..... and here is mine.
I am a drafter and designer, and I have designed what I call the Mega Recreation Center,
it is a building that is 551' wide by 2,929' long. It has darn near everything a kid needs to stay out of trouble,
have fun and even learn a skill while having fun, but it is mainly for fun and it also has a huge
outdoor park area too. Now I know the economy is weak, (well I guess the depends on who you ask right?) ......
now my Mega Center will employ close to 1700 people normally, not to mention the construction workers,
and all the supplier's of material needed in the construction and operation of the Center.
Now I have done a full accounting of what the building needs including security equipment, geothermal heating and cooling, wind power Generators. Now all these systems and other features to keep the kids and people safe and in a happy fun place, means the building With the 35 main activities that appeal to 98% of the general population, will cost is 390 million dollars.
Have you picked your self up yet? Just kidding .... I know that is a lot of money, but I have done the math and being conservative I figure that the building will bring in some place like 160 million dollars gross or more a year, so you see with the amount of tax money it will bring it, as well as the jobs it will create, 390 million is not really that much.
however I need a grant in order to make it happen. Can you help me, help the economy and also help give
the kids a safe place to go play and have fun at.
You know it seams sad and wrong to me, that Big companies that make billions a year, can get billions in bailout money when they get in trouble. but when a person,like my self ask for a grant or even a loan, and we get nothing... I am sorry if this sounded like I was complaining, I am not .... I just know that my Center will not only bring in lots of tax money for the state and Fed Government,it will put lots of people
to work. and my figures tell me. that in just a few years, not only can the Grant money be payed back in full, and also the center will be expanding out, creating even more jobs and bring in more tax money too.
Why should you come to my center, over other places. Well lets say a family of 4 (mom, dad, 2 kids) want to go out for a full day of fun, but stay local also. Lets start at the roller skating place, and it is like 10 miles from you house, and it cost you $3 to $8 per person to get in and $1 to $3 for skate rental, there is $11.00 plus if you get a drink there is more. After that you want to go bowling, and it is another 8 miles away, and cost $5 a game each person + shoe rental of $2 per
person, there you have spent $28.00 plus any drinks. After that you want to go see a movie, and it
is like 15 miles from there and cost like 8 per person plus drinks/popcorn so you spend close to $40.00 there and lastly you heard a local “BAR” has a teen night going on, it is like $8 per person to get in plus drinks so there you spend close to another $40.00, and on you way home you got some “real food” so there is like another $15 to $20. Yeah you spent a full day with your kids,
you also used a full tank of gas in the car, lets say a 12 gallon tank @ 3.00 a gallon = 36.00. So how much do you spend for a single day out having fun, is close to $155.00. plus fighting in the car with everyone on what to do and where to go next.
Same family came to my center, maybe it is like 20 miles from the house, it cost 5 per person to get in or if you went to the park it would cost 2 for the adults and 1 for kids under 15. But lets say they went to the main building there $20.00, while they were there they went to the indoor race track (mom smoked them) that cost $8.00, then they went bowling (the youngest show his/her
skill there) and that cost $12.00, then went to a movie that cost $18.00 including a drink and popcorn, after then they went dancing on the dance floor (where dad showed he can still cut a rug), no charge there cause that is included in the door fee, then went to the roller skating room and that cost $12.00, then they went to the dinning area and got some “Real Food” for $10.00
then drove the 20 miles to home, which means you spent maybe $10.00 in gas ..... so for a day out with the kids at my center cost you around $90.00 and you did not have to drive all over the place, you got to spent more time doing stuff with your kids, and you got to save some money
too. plus you only did 6 activities out of the 35 activities in the main building, plus whatever may be going on out in the park area.
So I ask you which do you like better choice one (which is how it is now) or choice 2? Which choice do you believe parents would make? And which choice would you choose to repeat more then once a month? And since my center has security and medical personal on staff, which
choice would you allow you kids to choice going alone too? Now I do know that times are hard,and not every kid will be able to come daily, but most parents will put the kids first, that is why I am trying to keep the prices as low as I can, so not to break the parent, so which do feel will be the choice they will make? I believe that there will be enough come everyday that the center will
be the only choice. Plus, since I have made the center capable of changing some rooms, that is will be able to keep up with the changing world entreatment needs. Plus with all the different scholarship programs and plains for future stuff. So Yes the center cost 390 million, however it is my belief that in our “GO GREEN” world, and rising fuel cost, that it is going to be a big hit for decades to come.
Plus i know shortly after the Center opens, the center will make enough to build the second mega building,
an indoor Ski Sloop that is 150' wide 2020' long and has a indoor uphill sloop that is 120 feet. so you see with the Mega Center and Huge Park that has soccer, football and baseball fields and basketball courts, as well as a huge walking path and playground, and with plans for futre upgrade of the Indoor ski Sloop, the center will be the hot spot for years to come.
Thank you for your time
