Further, they went on to prioritize potential sites for the facility and suggest a prospective financing plan for the $57 to $75 million project, pending further study.
The consultants also found that Tyler could benefit from an arena to host concerts, sporting events and other large-scale events. The arena could seat from 5,500 to 8,000 attendees with a total of 159,500 square feet at an estimated cost of $44 million to $66 million. This would be the only facility of its size between Shreveport and Dallas. A more refined estimate weekend getaways and short cruises of cost is pending further study.
"The hotel conference center weekend getaways and short cruises would be a public-private weekend getaways and short cruises partnership with 63 percent of the funding coming from private investment," said Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass.  "Only a small portion of this project would be public weekend getaways and short cruises funds – and those would come from hotel tax revenue."
Tourism was identified as one of Tyler's chief opportunities for economic growth in the Industry Growth Initiative that was adopted in mid-2010. It is estimated that nearly 20,000 visits are lost each year because Tyler has not had the facilities to accommodate large conferences.
On June 27, The City Council will consider a contract with the consultants to take the next step for the two projects, including weekend getaways and short cruises seeking securing potential locations, seeking partners and conducting weekend getaways and short cruises preliminary designs for the projects.
