Sportable - Adaptive Sports and Recreation reposted this
Fantastic panel on sports tourism in #RVA at this morning’s #GRACRE Breakfast! 🏟️🏗️ It was great to hear from Dennis Bickmeier, K. Brooks Ballance, Neil Amin, Brett Burkhart, and J.C. Poma about the impact sports tourism is having on commercial real estate in the region. Our team is proud to support sports tourism in our community. With the new Henrico Sports & Events Center and the ongoing Virginia Center Commons redevelopment in Glen Allen, Henrico Sports & Entertainment Authority's state-of-the-art venue had an outstanding first year, boosting sports tourism with over 70 non-local tournaments, including the high-profile Atlantic 10 Women’s Basketball Championship. We can’t wait to celebrate the next phase of the Virginia Center Commons redevelopment and other strategic investments across the region. Thanks to all the speakers for sharing their insights!
