            The Next Big Thing for Florence County


            A lot of discussion was generated about what is the "Next Big Thing" for Florence County.  Many cities and other
            counties across the region struggle with identifying what that should be and how to get there.  More times than
            not, discussion focused on things for young people to do or engage in to keep them in Florence County.  One of
            the  most  popular  concepts  for  this  is  additional  facilities  with  sports  fields,  aquatic  resources,  and  wellness
            activities for all ages.

































            This type of facility can make a regional impact.  Discussed as a huge need for the area, keeping young people and
            new families engaged is critical to growth.  A multi-use facility would support several critical functions:  tourism,
            wellness, and economic diversification.  While this planning effort was not designed to master plan such a facility,
            it was a goal to identify what that effort should be focused towards.
