Financial Model

The financial model for SARNIA BACE includes capital costs, operating assumptions, and economic impact projections. It is designed to be sustainable, transparent, and responsive to market conditions.

Estimated annual operations output to the local economy is $1.7 million, driven by captured spending and multipliers. Revenue streams include program fees, rentals, events, concessions, and sponsorships. The model targets break-even operations with reserve planning for maintenance and lifecycle costs.

Cost estimates are sensitive to inflation, interest rates, labour availability, supply chain conditions, energy prices, and construction logistics. Programming, utilization, and pricing remain provisional until detailed operating plans are developed with partners.

The analysis is based on third-party data and stakeholder input believed to be reasonable but not independently verified. All figures are expressed in current dollars and exclude taxes unless stated.

This model supports responsible decision-making and long-term viability, with clear metrics for public accountability and ongoing refinement as the project evolves.
