Why is a public indoor tennis facility needed? • Quality of Life • Winter/Fall public tennis programs are nonexistent • Private courts “leave out” many due to expense, lack of availability and exclusionary • Colleges/Universities can not compete at higher levels • Heavy Demand from public/private school based athletics • Short courts, Special Olympics, wheelchair tennis, pickleball expands our reach • Tennis is truly a “Sport for Life” • Economic Impact • Tournaments/Events to bring over $2 million into SF economy • Sioux Falls can REGAIN status as top Midwest tennis destination • Can capitalize on Division I, Division II college conference tournament opportunities • Retain and attract employees
