Webb Management Services Inc. 19 <br />personnel + experience (continued) <br />Planning for Arts + Culture in Pompano Beach, Pompano <br />Beach, FL (2010-2013) <br />The Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency is a relatively new <br />entity, formed to address community and economic development and urban <br />planning in key areas within this North Broward County community. <br />The Needs Assessment was inspired by an opportunity to include cultural <br />facilities in a civic campus currently proposed to include a new Broward <br />County Library, City Hall and mixed use restaurant and retail components. <br />There was also potential to develop cultural facilities within 30,000 square <br />feet on the second floor of the library, if there was adequate need for <br />programs and facilities. <br />Our work assessed demand for cultural programs and space, identifying <br />facility development opportunities and suggesting how new spaces might <br />be configured to accommodate demand. The effort began with a series of <br />one-on-one interviews to inform our work around market analysis, facility <br />inventories, user demand, programming opportunities, and potential benefits <br />and impacts. We surveyed Broward County artists and arts groups to <br />understand demand for space in the northern end of the county. A report <br />including findings, conclusions, and recommendations was issued to the CRA <br />and City Council. <br />We were then hired to develop business plans for three facility development <br />opportunities, including a new Cultural Center, artist studios to be developed <br />in a former hotel, and a cultural and community center celebrating Pompano’s <br />rich African-American history. Working with TCC, we developed and assessed <br />a number of space programs to understand the physical implications and <br />capital costs of recommendations. <br />Under a separate contract, we planned for the improved operations of the <br />City’s amphitheater and developed a business model for the combined <br />operation of all of these facilities. <br />Reference: <br />Terrell N.
