Interim Repon ECONOMIC STUDY GROUP March, 1993 This memorandum presents a summary of economic development ideas for consideration by the Town of Estes Park. Introduction The Community Development Committee appointed an Economic Study Group (ESG) in March 1992. The ESG was appointed following the closure of Ski Estes Park to examine opportunities to expand Estes Park's economic base and create more year-round economy. Members of the ESG Included David Barker, Chairman Jean Austin Jennie Kosenka Dick Barlow Connie Phipps Frank Bassett Rich Wille Warren Clinton Gary Klaphake, Staff Jack Holmquist Steve Stamey, Staff The ESG reviewed the 1983 Downtown Market Analysis prepared by Brown, Bortz and Coddington and updated key pieces of that report. Input was solicited from approximately twenty-four organizations and agencies. The efforts of the ESG provide good background information into the Town's Comprehensive Plan, provides information for assessing progress and identifying areas of concern, and suggests several initiatives which could be helpful in strengthening the Estes Park economy. Estes Park Economic Base Limitations and strengths of the Estes Park economic base are outlined in Table 1. Estes Park has made great strides in implementing economic development strategies over the past ten years, and the results have been evident in several economic segments of the community. 1 i Since 1982, there has been nearly $100 million in public and private investment in the community. Building permit valuations exceed $75 million for this period. Retail sales have increased from $39.5 million in 1982 to over $92.5 million in 1992. Visitation at Rocky Mountain National Park has reached 2.9 million. Major economic development efforts involving both public and private sectors have occurred with re-development of the downtown, construction of the conference center and library, expansion of medical services and school facilities, development of retail complexes, accommodations, housing, and a major private school. Estes Park has also implemented an exemplary advertising program. Problems and limitations As indicated in Table 1, .the Estes Park economic base suffers from lack of winter activities, fragmentation among various economic components, business continuity, year-round employment opportuni- ties, and housing opportunities. Maintaining a positive perception for the town is very important in terms of economic development. Traffic congestion and the image of being full in the summer hurt potential repeat day visitor trade. The image of the town would be enhanced by improving the gateways (quality construction, landscaping). A definition of appropriate type of economic development needs to be prepared (e.g. what is clean business). Policies on housing development need to be adopted which encourages innovation, affordability and rehabilitation. Strengths and Opportunities The sheer physical beauty of the area and its strategic location represent primary strengths. An article in the February 1993 issue of Urban Land states that, "resorts that are typically within a two-hour drive of metropolitan areas and designed to accommodate business-oriented outings, short term vacations, and weekend trade, will proliferate. These resorts are likely to feature access to natural areas, spas, arts, and education programs, and conference facilities", (Re-inventing Leisure). Eco-tourism represents a growing market. With the combination of Rocky Mountain National Park, the confer- ence center, and perhaps the resources of Eagle Rock School, the Estes Park community could become an environmental learning center. Development of special events, the arts, business organizations, and community partnerships, all serve to strengthen the economy. 2 Estes Park is a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park and has an opportunity to become an integral part of the park experience through design and development, based upon creating a balance between social, economic and environmental factors. Estes Park could well serve as a model of sustainable development. Development Strategies Estes Park needs to be creative in positioning itself for the next decade. Estes Park is a premier summer resort and can well build on that base by becoming better at managing the peak loads. Efforts to expand the economy should be concentrated on the shoulder months of March, April, May, and September, October, November. Develop- ment of the tourism economy during the winter months is dependent upon product creations. Weather is an unmanageable variable. Near-Team Actions Focus on developing the product which can be marketed in the shoulder season and winter season. Promote wildlife viewing, and schedule special events which fill voids in the regional calendar. Development of vacation packages in the off-season which offer a complete complement of services is critical to any marketing effort (e.g. lodging, restaurant, activity ). Also, improvement in central reservations is important to remain competitive and develop conference market. Business elements in the community need to recognize the off-season potential of day-tripping and short term vacations. Long Term Strategies Development of the product, business quality, transportation, and community appearance. Priority Actions Recommended actions include: • Development of transportation management system to better handle the peak summer load. • Development of lodging/activity packages in the off- season. • Development of affordable housing. • Maximum use of the conference center. 3 • Develop attractive entry-ways. • Development partnership with RMNP, Larimer County, YMCA. • Define appropriate business/economic development. • Remain cognizant of economic development spin-offs from Eagle Rock School. • Development of pedestrian/bike path system throughout the community. • Develop a coalition of national park/gateway communities. • Explore opportunities for corporate adventure training in the off-season and winter months. Submitted on behalf of the ECONOMIC STUDY GROUP Stephen L. Stamey, AICP Community Development Director 4 Table 1. Problems and Limitations Increasingly Competitive Tourism Market Moderate peak summer season Destination resort area with few organized winter activities Older resort hurt by newer travel trends Little area-wide coordination (marketing, central reservations) Loss of dude ranches "Catching the Spirit of Tourism" theme needs to be developed throughout the community. Shift to day-trippers reduces long term investment for accommodations. Weekly peaks give image of being full. Continuity in being open from summer/winter for local businesses Property becoming too expensive for economic return Relationship with RMNP Fragmentation of various economic pieces (e.g. local businesses, RMNP, school, local government). Image Problem Class of businesses and customers Business attitudes and practices (marketing products, community involvement, seasonal hours, improvement plans) Local attitude against business Business attitude of "what's in it for me?" Weak Chamber of Commerce - connecting business community with residents Gateway into town (need greenway, entry signage) Limited entrepreneurship (name retailers?) Locally - greedy merchant attitudes is perceived Negative imaging (no food/drinks inside) Lack of Econamic Base Diversity Dependence on seasonally fluctuating tourist trade Small labor force Retail gaps (men's clothing, family goods) Promote year-round economy locally Stable year-round employment opportunities Housing opportunities/alternatives Appropriate type of economic development (definition of type of economic development Limited building inventory Policy on business incentives Art development 5 ....
