re: Huge BR Zoo news from Councilwoman Chauna Banks---Will Cover edition

I said some of this in the thread yesterday but the current location will never become a revenue asset to the city.

Zoo's need revenue from corporate events an wedding receptions to survive. That location will never be suitable for those clients

The current location also provides no benefit to the surrounding areas. The local citizens do not work at the zoo or go to the zoo. Also, the patrons of the zoo get food and gas before getting to that area specifically so they dont have to stop between the interstate exit and the zoo.

The 2 options are spend a ton of money on a depreciating asset that will never develop new revenue streams, or spend more initially and build a new zoo in a location that will benefit from the revenue streams that all other zoo's survive on.
