A.5 Executive Summary
In 2015, the Clermont City Council unanimously approved a Master Plan for the historic downtown and
waterfront areas. As envisioned, the master-plan will activate economic development goals while in
tandem amplifying the standard and quality of life for residents and visitors alike.The aforementioned
further enhances the tax base of Lake County through increased hedonic values and visitor
visitation/spending.
The City of Clermont, aptly branded as the Choice of Champions, is globally recognized as a premier
destination for sports competition and training.To that end,the envisioned master-plan best positions
Clermont to actuate and protect these unique assets which draw thousands to live, work, train and
compete in this award winning City.
One of the key elements to activating additional economic opportunity through the derivative of
"heads in beds" and in-direct/direct spending is through the Victory Pointe master plan project.
Understanding, now more than ever, competition exists in enhancing visitor experience through public
realm improvements. This competition requires cities to invest greater resources into ensuring not only
existing, but growth opportunities within sports such as rowing,triathlon and cycling continued to be
leveraged.
Fewer destinations are prepared to write checks,with that the quality and characteristics of facilities
must be right for each event. It has been observed that communities are either modifying or improving
their facilities, building new complexes, or falling further behind by failing to invest resources into
enhancements and upgrades.
No longer can cities rest and depend upon existing hotel room night stays generated by sport tourism
stakeholders given the competition locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. The City of Clermont
has long been a placeholder and leader in the endurance sports segment as well as a favorite in rowing,
however,the City of Clermont must invest resources to continue to grow and enhance not only the sport

venue, but also athlete/visitor experience, reduction of impediments to citizens, and activating economic
development goals through sport tourism.
Purpose of Victory Pointe:

C.2. Describe in detail the strategic rational and business justification for the Project:
Like private-sector capital, sport tourism events particularly regionally/nationally branded are mobile.
These events vie for the best venues thus, municipalities interested in retaining and attaining events must
compete by re-investing in assets to attract these events as both a generator of economic impact through
heads/beds derivatives, but also more recently an aggressive opportunity to leverage sport tourism
events as a conduit to cultivating sense of place and quality of life. Events that engage the public have
potential to contribute to the character and identity of a community.These types of events provide
opportunities for socialization, enhance the sense of community, and provide hands-on experiences
attractive to regional residents—all contributing to the community's quality of life.
To that end, a significant opportunity at re-defining quality of workforce and corporate recruitment
through strategic community events. Studies suggest that strong arts and cultural communities rank
among the top factors for decision makers when considering relocation for employment opportunities.
The development and positioning of unique and diverse cultural opportunities is proof of a public
commitment to maintain, and even improve,the quality of its workforce.
Victory Pointe Economic Impact Overview
■ Continuing activities stemming from the planned investment in Victory Point
will generate $6.8M in gross economic income in a typical year across the
state and local economies.
o This output is associated with nearly 123 and $2.9M continuing direct,
indirect and induced jobs and wage income, respectively. Additionally,
there will be gross fiscal benefits each and every year of approximately
$0.7M flowing to the state and various local governments.

operations and managing endurance events at Waterfront Park for over 34 years. Presently,
Sommer Sports operates and manages over 40 triathlons, duathlon and running events at
Waterfront Park and Lake Louisa State Park.The need exists to grow and expand capacity for
events- particularly as it relates to transition areas for triathletes.
• 2015 athlete participation numbers reflected a total of 8,815 participants. Of the 8,815
participants, 20%of the athlete participants reside in the City of Clermont with 4% of athletes
visiting from out-of-state.

teams competing in a variety of heats.Total attendance in 2015 and 2016 (both participants
and viewers) is estimated by event organizers to be 4,000-4,500.Victory Point will allow
enhanced access and accommodation which has challenged the event from a logistics
standpoint.Additionally, spectator viewing will be maximized and allow Clermont to become
the premier Dragon Boat Festival for the region.

C. Project Details:
Victory Pointe duals as both an innovative storm-water facility; public realm park space; and
outdoor sporting and event space. As a storm-water facility, Victory Point serves to combine the
elements of freeing up lakefront and park land for amenity development by allowing for a
regional discharge pond. At the same time, Victory Point preserves and protects the natural
asset, Lake Minneola by abating direct discharge.
As a festival and sporting event facility, Victory Pointe will enhance the athlete and visitor
experience currently offered at the waterfront park facility. Victory Point as a festival and event
park facility is designed to perform better than waterfront park. Through technology, way-
finding, infrastructure, operational efficiencies and nearby opportunity for embedded mixed use
development- Victory Pointe will offer un-paralleled waters-edge event and festival facility
space.
Versatility in design to offer world-class event space for nationally branded events such as:
USRowing, US Kayak and Canoe, as well as Ironman to offering functionality for organically local
events such as: Horrible 100, Ride Latino, Sommer Sports and Dragon Boat events.
Lastly, the venue itself allows for adaptability integral to city life beyond its role in sports and
festivals. A sense of arrival for bicycle tourist along the Coast to Coast trail.

Rowing Events
Lake County Rowing Association
The recently constructed boathouse has 5,000 square feet of space, including an office/substation for the
Clermont police. The new boathouse was completed through a collaborative Lake County-City of
Clermont effort to leverage the lake asset in attracting new water based activity, including college rowing,
kayaking, sailing, and Para-rowing.
The Lake County Rowing Association sponsors both youth and adult learn to row programs.The fee for a
three-week adult learn to row session is $129. Participation in the learn to row programs is nominal.
The Lake County Rowing Association held their second annual Leader of the Lake Regatta in 2015 and
attracted an estimated 2,500 people. The event included 29 teams versus eight teams participating in
2014. Ultimately, the Lake County Rowing Association hopes to have about five different style of races
per year at the regatta.
Attendance by event for the Lake County Rowing Association (for the past two years) is reflected in the
figure below. As shown, attendance from 2015 to 2016 increased significantly, growing from 2,250

participants to 9,500 participants. As with Sommer Sports figures, these numbers do not include those
viewing the events from the shore.
One very exciting development is that Clermont has been chosen as one of four training sites for the 2017
World Rowing Championships. Foreign national teams are expected to be training here in Clermont from
September 1St, 2017 up to the regatta dates beginning September 23rd, 2017.We will have more details
following the 2016 Rio Olympics.
US Rowing representative,AJ Dominique believes the Lake County Rowing Association is appropriately
garnishing experience in event hosting and the time horizon for hosting nationally and regionally
significant events is nearing. US Rowing is seeking requests for proposals for the 2017, 2018 and 2019
Masters National Championships and encourages LCRA to apply. However, improvements to the athlete
and spectator viewing and launching areas is an important factor in Clermont establishing its role as an
event location.

Summary of Direct Spending
Following is a summary of direct spending associated with all of the events and potential users at Victory
Pointe, or approximately $4.7 million annually.We believe that Victory Pointe, can be competitive with
existing venues like Kissimmee Lakefront Park and Lake Eva Community Park and could likely exceed the
current programming at the other venues.An estimated 16%of spending is attributable to potential new
events (Ironman) and expansion of the trails system (Coast-to-Coast Connector).

Coast-to-Coast Connector
The Coast-to-Coast Connector(C2C) is a proposed 250-mile multi-purpose, paved trail connecting the
Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Ocean through Central Florida. More than 200 miles of this trail are open and in
use, or in development. Clermont is located at the midpoint of the Coast-to-Coast Connector, linking the
existing South Lake Trail to the overall system.
As envisioned, the C2C will become a major visitor destination for the region. An Economic Impact
Analysis completed for the Orange County Trails (completed by the East Central Florida Regional Planning
Association) revealed that more than 1.7 million people use the Orange County trails every year, with an
average daily expenditure of$20 per visit for items like food and beverages, bike maintenance, bike
rentals, etc.
According to an economic benefits study completed for the Coast to Coast Connector(ALTA/Florida
Greenways and Trails); it is assumed that group tours along the connector could last between 5 and 7
days, traveling about 25 to 50 miles per day. Clermont's position at the center of the connector implies
that it will be able to capture a significant number of users traveling on longer tours.
There are seven gaps in the corridor, or about 72 miles of trails, with an estimated cost of$42 million.
The trail is anticipated for competition by 2021. The West Orange Trail, which connects to the South Lake
Trail, is a popular component of the entire trail system.
WTC-Ironman Florida
The'World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) is a for-profit corporation, owned by Dalian.Wanda Group, that
organizes, promotes and licenses the Ironman Triathlon, Ironman 70.3,the 5150 series of triathlon races
and several cycling, running and:multisport events.
Ironman 70.3(half-lronman distance) Florida is currently hosted at Lake Eva Park in Haines City. According
to Ironman representative,Tom Ziebart the key factor in selecting Haines City as a host community is the
financial support Polk County and Haines City provide to Ironman,which is$50,000-60,000 annually.
Haines City and Polk County receive an annual $3million economic impact through hotel bed tax and
visitor spending during the 3-day weekend event.
Facilities at Lake Eva are all co-located. Families enjoy the venue because of the children's park, splash
pad, basketball court, pool and access to theme parks. Primarily, he shares the Ironman clientele is an
upper-class demographic,which travels with family. An Ironman representative believes it is critical for a
venue to provide experiences for families supporting athletes and spectating.
Tom Ziebart, WTC-Ironman believes Victory Point, Clermont would be an ideal location for Ironman
Florida 70.3 provided, Lake County and Clermont would extend the same financial commitment as Polk

Chattanooga, the event attracted 21,780 spectators, with an estimated 10,270 visiting from out of town.
There were a total of 2,612 participants— 18% of which were from Tennessee.

Championships.
The event is slated for.August 2-5th 2017 with a projected 1000 athletes and visitors. Recent

C.2 Strategic Justification for Victory Pointe:
The current public event space utilized by triathlon and endurance sports at the east end of waterfront is
no longer conducive to growing existing and future events secondary to capacity limitation imposed by
the venue itself, parking constraints and spectator/visitor areas. In maintaining the quality and
competitive nature the City of Clermont has nurtured over the 34 years since the first triathlon hosted by
Sommer Sports, it is vital and necessary to make the public improvements investments to remain an
international destination for triathlon and endurance sports events/training.
To that end, USRowing has extended its earnest interest and desire to locate national events on a
continuum at the Clermont Boathouse.The current event space adjacent to the row facility is not
competitive to rowing sites such as Sarasota secondary to visitor and spectator experience.
Similar, a significant opportunity exists for Lake County as a "gateway" community for the Coast to Coast
trail.The City of Clermont aptly sits in the center of the C2C,which provides out of town users ease of
access from nearby Orlando International Airport,theme parks and Orlando. Victory Pointe will allow
C2C users a unique ecological park atmosphere, engendering users to stay, explore and recreate- making
what would be a day-trip and overnight visit.

Average spending per cap $ 143 $ 15 $ 8 $ 24
The largest share of spending occurs from the non-local participation in the form of food,
entertainment, and retail spending in addition to event admissions. Non-local participation
from nearly 300,000 visitors could be expected to generate more than $6.9M in annual
spending.This total level of spending represents average spending of slightly less than $25
per person distributed among the categories listed above.
It is generally accepted that local spending has a high probability of representing a
redistribution within the local economy and should not be included in an economic impact
analysis. However, if this local participation is captured that would otherwise be spent as a
non-local participant in another regional location, it could be considered incremental but for
the development of Victory Pointe.
The continuing activity expected from the operation of Victory Pointe is a product of non-local visitor
spending created from annual events and year-round activities.It is expected that events and year-
round activities could draw close to 300,000 visitors (participants and spectators), sustaining incremental
annual expenditures of almost $7.0M.

costs associated with ongoing maintenance,facility repairs and facility updates as needed to facilitate,
leverage or enhance resident, visitor and athlete experience. To that end, ongoing upgrades to the event
venue may occur infrequently or frequently as necessary to activate or provide enhanced venue
experience; as an enhancement to competitive position within the sports industry; or as deemed
• necessary by the City of Clermont.

Coast to Coast:
Responsible Marketing Entities: Florida Greenways Trails, City of Clermont, Lake County and
VisitFlorida.
The City of Clermont will promote and solicit visitation to the City of Clermont with its "Meet us
in the Middle" campaign in addition to its positioning as a "gateway" community. At the same
time,the.City.will identify and pursue opportunities through Adventure Cycling, Disney
Adventures and Expedia trips.
IRONMAN
Ironman provides its own international marketing and promotional campaigns associated with
each race. The City of Clermont Parks and Recreation Director through direction of City Manager
facilitates communicationand event logistic coordination. No local club is needed to host an
Ironman branded event. Ironman has its own marketing, logistics and race support. Ironman
also procures its own local volunteers.
The City of Clermont would promulgate and co-brand where appropriate event information on a
national and international platform.
Canoe and Kayak Championship
Marketing and communications are facilitated by several entities to include: US Canoe and
Kayak, City of Clermont, South Florida Canoe and Kayak Club, Lake County Tourism and Central
Florida Sports.Commission.
Event logistics and facility coordination will occur through the City of Clermont Parks and
Recreation Director.The solicitation of the event is coordinated through Central Florida Sports
Commission and Lake County Tourism. The local hosting club and volunteer support is
coordinated through South Florida Canoe and Kayak Club.
USRowing Masters
Marketing and coordination of communication to promulgate and promote the event primarily
occurs between the local club, Lake County Rowing Association, Lake County Tourism, Central
Florida Sports Commission and City of Clermont Florida. The aforementioned entities are also
involved in procuring events with USRowing.

The event logistics and volunteers are coordinated through the local rowing club, Lake County
Rowing Association.
Horrible 100, Ride Latino, Sommer Sports, USA Triathlon, Dragon Boat Race, Pig on the

These events are coordinated through local non-profit organizations and private for profit
entities. The event hosts procure the volunteers and manage the event logistics in coordination
with appropriate permitting and process through the City of Clermont.
The City supports marketing and communication efforts of event organizers through
promulgation of events, which is on an event by event basis.
F.2 What Steps Have Been Taken to Attract New Attendees
The City of Clermont is attracting new attendees, increasing local hotel over-night visitation,
stimulating local spending and enhancing tax base revenues for the City of Clermont and Lake
County through the construction of Victory Pointe.
Victory Point as an outdoor event space and facility is critical in retaining and attaining
additional overnight local hotel stays. Competition for awareness, events and dollars is
increasing with sports tourism and festivilization,the City of Clermont has tremendous and
unique natural, physical and public assets, which to leverage. Victory Point allows for the
holonic unification of these assets to'position, Clermont as the premier destination for
endurance sports, paddle and water sports, along with Coast to Coast visitation.
Without the construction of Victory Point, the City of Clermont would not be able to compete
readily in the endurance, water/paddle and eco-tourism markets and allowing for an increased
capacity of athletes and visitors.
The City is aggressive in its procurement of additional events and activating marketing,
communication and positioning channels most appropriate based on event or festival to
maximize its opportunities.
To that end, the City of Clermont recognizes the following to effectuate successful outcomes in
the procurement of additional hotel overnight stays:

Event +Festival Trends
■ An emerging discussion is focusing on measuring the economic development outcomes of events
hosted at publicly funded facilities, beyond the traditional metrics detailing their economic impact
on the tourism supply chain.Impact numbers relating to hotel occupancy,tax receipts, and
tourism-related jobs are important, however,there's a growing awareness that the legacy
business outcomes of events have an equally valuable impact on local communities.
These outcomes include knowledge sharing, city branding, outside investment,talent relocation,
academic research, and new business relationships.A greater appreciation of this could create a
big shift in event selection strategy, where the quality of event content is defined, measured, and
shared, as much as the quantity of event participants.
• A renewed emphasis to leverage events as a conduit to cultivating sense of place and quality of
life. Events that engage the public have potential to contribute to the character and identity of a
community.These types of events provide opportunities for socialization, enhance the sense of
community, and provide hands-on experiences attractive to regional residents—all contributing
to the community's quality of life.
• Re-defining quality of workforce and corporate recruitment through strategic community events.
Studies suggest that strong arts and cultural communities rank among the top factors for decision
makers when considering relocation for employment opportunities.The development and
positioning of unique and diverse cultural opportunities is proof of a public commitment to
maintain, and even improve,the quality of its workforce.

Succession Planning and Opportunities
Triathlon: Fred Sommer has owned and operated races at waterfront park for over 34 years.
Endurance sports to include triathlon, duathlon, cycling and running are synonymous with
Clermont. Athletes from across the globe understand who Clermont is and the quality of
training and competition afforded here year round.
The City and Lake County have made enumerable investments into promoting and supporting
the endurance sports and ensuring the vision of remaining the world's "top 10" training and
competition grounds for the sport, the City is making efforts to ensure should Sommer Sports
no longer operate running races in the City a succession plan is in place. The succession plan
includes the following:
John Hovius, AAA Tricamps and USA Triathlon race director is a local event host and timing
company who offers year round training and events primarily in Lake Louisa SP secondary to the
events currently hosted at waterfront by Sommer Sports. These Lake Louisa events could shift
to Victory Pointe in the event Sommer Sports was no longer hosting race series.

WTC Ironman-
Ironman purchases races and event companies across the United States. Ironman has expressed
an interest in purchasing Sommer Sports fall series. A single Ironman event alone would surpass
any economic impact annually afforded by Sommer Sports to Lake County and the City of
Clermont.
S4:
Local triathlon club, Tower Triathlon, hosts a training series weekends at waterfront park. This
group has expressed an interest and has the capacity in sport specific understanding and
contacts to host races and training opportunities in the event Sommer Sports no longer hosted
events.
National Training Center:
The.NTC was originally a USA Triathlon headquarter site and for a number of years, the NTC
hosted triathlon events.Since then, the NTC has shifted gears and produced running specific
races only. However, given the depth and breadth of their subject matter expertise and years in
the sports, the NTC would certainly be.a natural provider for events and training should Sommer
Sports no longer host events at Victory Pointe.
Rowing: Currently, Lake County Rowing Association is the event club host for rowing events at
waterfront. This includes the coordination of teams and cultivating new business opportunities.
The following opportunities exist should Lake County Rowing Association no longer host events
or training at the Clermont Boat House.
Sports Facility Advisory- a management and consulting group out of Clearwater has aligned
with USRowing to both manage and procure rowing events. The City of Clermont could explore
this as an option to cultivating events and management of the facility.

A number of watersports co-locate within the boathouse and host events at waterfront. These
include:Dragon Boat, Sailing and most recently in 2017 Canoe/Kayak. The aforementioned, all
have an opportunity to'grow in size and frequency should rowing reduce the number of their
events or training opportunity.
