What if there is a No Vote?

As much as we don’t want to talk about it, it is a possibility. So what will happen?

–The Center will most likely go dark for 6 months to two years with no guarantee that it will remain in local hands.

–The momentum we’ve established will be interrupted and there will be  an expensive, long, and difficult process to get the Center to be functioning in a positive manner again.

–Our friends, business associates, and  businesses who have donated to the Center will lose their investments.

–The people working at the Center will likely lose their jobs.

–Groups who rely on the Center for their events, such as the Great Prairie Area Education Agency will have to find a replacement venue for the meetings and events they’ve already booked at the Center.

–The Convention and Visitor’s will lose its office space.

–The First Fridays ArtWalk will lose its office space.

–The Fairfield Artist’s Association will lose its studio.

–Community groups will lose the opportunity to use low-cost, sometimes free, performance space.

–The City’s Local Option Sales Tax revenues will decrease.

–Fairfield’s reputation will be damaged.

–The community will lose $2-$3MM in annual visitor revenues.

–The community will lose multiple entertainment options.

–The community will lose a flexible, first-rate meeting and event space.

    I’m dissapointed that you post this type of scare tactics.

    “Fairfield’s reputation will be damaged”?

    If you want to remind everyone of the recent federal bailout tactics then you’re sure on the right track.
