City of Newport News 2400 Washington Avenue, 3rd Floor Newport News. VA 23607 Contact Bryan C. Witt, Senior Project Coordinator (757) 926-3803 bwittnngov.com Section 1: PROPOSED PROJECT i-A Briefly describe the overall scope and concept of your proposed project. cty center at Oyster Point, a 52-acre new urhanism development centrally located in the City of Newport News, celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2010. To date, over 550.000 sf of class-A office space, 135.000 sf of retad/restaurant space. 365 luxury apartments with 234 adddronal unds currently under construction; 54 iuxuny condominiums, and’a 256-room fuil-service hotel. including a 55,000 sf conference center, have been constructed. While additional office, residential and hospitality space is anticipated. the developer has proposed the next phase of development to contain an Entertainment District. The Entertainment District is proposed to include a 50,000 sf movie theater/restaurant venue, an 8.500 sf destination restaurant, a 7,900 sf destination restaurant, and a 16,800 sf restaurant/entertainment venue. The Entertainment District will be located within the Patdck Henry Tourism Zone, one of four designated Toudsm Zones in the City. This project will complement and broaden the exwting restaurant mix within City Center at Oyster Point, while enhancing the attractiveness of the hotel and conference center for visitors. Further, it will provide after-work and entertainment options that do not currently exist in the City or its surrounding communities, i-B What perceived VOID in your local tourism economy will this proposed project fill? The lack of evening entertainment opportunities has been identified as a void in the local tourism economy of Newport News. The City-wide Tourism Development Plan, adopted by City Council on February 14. 2012 cites this deficien.cy and recommends strengthening the City’s hospitatty offerings in order to capture more of the emerging conference market. The Plan focuses on broadening and developing the association, professional organization and corporate market segments. Meeting planners and conference attendees have often cited the lack of diverse entertainment and dining options within walking distance of the publicly-owned conference space. The product mix included in this project vvill serve to fill this void. There are more than 3,600 businesses employing in excess of 31,000 people located within a 7-minute drive time of the Entertainment District. These businesses generate dining and entertainment demand. As the recognized Central Business District of the antre Virginia Peninsula, there is egnffcant in-migration of people who come from outside the area to do business with the existing base. The estahishment of the Entertainment Disthct will serve to generate substantial state and local tax revenues that are new to the area. i-C Will this proposed project fit into an existing Tourism Zone? Yes i-D The proposed project will accomplish the following: Project jobs created from this specific project projected to be Total projected jobs: 525, which equates to approximately 300 full-time equivalent Projected local tax revenue from project expected to be $2,200,000 in first full year of operation Section 2: PRODUCT ANALYSIS 2-A What attributes best describe your area: Nature / Outdoor Recreation Scenic Drive, Hiking, Camping.

Witn the Mar rers \1nse’n SS Mor or Certer h stonc ror-tes catFe os tifica ons ronuments ad extraordinary collections of arbfacts, history is a major element of Newport News’ tourism industry. In addition to reliving our nation’s past, visitors can come to relax and enjoy one of the many scenic parks. Newport News also otters many youth, student athlete, and amateur sporting opportunities. Cultural activities abound. Visitors can enjoy performances at the Ferguson Center for the Arts and view the visual arts at the Peninsula Fine Arts Center and throughout the City’s public art collection.

With the addition of the full-service Newport News Marriott at City Center Conference Center, military. government, corporate, and social tourism opportunities have expanrted. Cut of town conference business has been bolstered by the convenient location which is well-served by bat interstate exits. Now in its 6th year of operation, the Conference Center has broadened the area from which group business is drawn, and regularly hosts numerous conferences with participant drive ranges extending to northeastern North Carolina and southern Maryland. 2-C What is your UNIOUE factor? What sets you apart from the competition? Newport News is home to Huntington lngalls Industries’ Newport News Shipyard, the only shipyard in the nation that designs and constructs the US Navy’s aircraft carriers and one of two shipyards in the nation which builds the US Navy’s submarines. Jefferson Lab is located within 5 minutes of the Entertainment District. Jefferson Lab provides unique and highly sophisticated experimental user facilities, which serve users and ‘iisiting scientists from universities, other iaboratories and industry. More than 1,300 users are engaged in. research at the a’onici-ciass lab.

Newport News is the corporate headquarters of Canon Virginia, Inc. The recent plant expansion, vvhich doubled Canon’s size and introduced a new product line, has generated a constant stream of domestic and international visitors to the facility. 2-D Who is your major competition? /li le tt e p ext tv to r’ ena s Hater r Tr a gle era ‘virq r a Buaco ay he cerce cad s cempe hon Thin the regional tourism market, Newnort News has endeavored to capital:ze on ts central locabon wdhin Hampton Roads. In reality, the Hstonc Triangle and Virqinm Beach proxmihes add synergy, because the region s nest marketed as a package to the leisure travel market. The niche that s unique to Newport News and particuarIy to the City Center area lies in the strength of its Corporate, government, military, defense and manufacturing sectors, Despite economic downturns, these sectors continue to have travel and hospitality requirements. The fact that these sectors are underserved by existing dining and entertainment options is recognized and weihdocumented. The density and mixed-use nature are strengths of the Entertainment Distnct. it is bracketed oy more than 550,000 sf of Class-A office space which serves as the hub of the business and professional community, There are residences, retail shops, service providers and a hotel and conference center, The addition of a theater, entertainment venue and more restaurants wli give City Center the dynamic energy to generate substantial new tax revenues for the locality and the Commonwealth, It is reasonable to believe that the Entertainment District will draw from several communities within at minimum, a 50-mile radius, and for some popular performers, a 100-mile radius, Tourism Development Plan —Departrnentof Development, Cd’y of Newport News April30, 2012 Page 2 Section 3: S.W.O.T.
