What Could A Downtown Aquarium Do For Greensboro?

Look, Fish Man isn't making any promises but I just talked with some Big Mouth Bass over in East Tennessee and here's what they had to say,

"This is what a world class aquarium did to Chattanooga!

Economic impact:
The Tennessee Aquarium is credited with igniting the “Renaissance on the River,” and the revitalization of downtown Chattanooga. No single project has played a greater role in revitalizing downtown.

With more than $2 billion in new investment in the downtown area since 1990, Chattanooga is fast becoming a model for all that a mid-sized downtown can be.

According to the Chattanooga Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, 3 million people visit Chattanooga each year.

Tourism is a $690 million industry in Chattanooga and Hamilton County.

Tourism and hospitality account for 7,300 Chattanooga and Hamilton County jobs with an annual payroll of over $150 million.

Downtown employment rose 38 percent from 1992 to 2002 – (58 percent of that increase took place between 1997 and 2002.)"
