Outcomes: Traffic accessments, accounting of City revenue, real estate sales, consumption of utilities and other resources, Business and Occupation taxes, permits and fees, etc.

Economic Diversification Strategy: The project satisfies, in a singlular structure, the extreme need to create economic re-development and re-vitalization of Soap Lake, through the attraction of tourists. It is a project which will be the catalyst for other business investment and redevelopment efforts by others who will benefit from the influx of tourist dollars.

Planning Efforts: Project complies with regional planning components of the eco-tourism issues outlined in the Ephrata-Soap Lake Economic Plan, the Grant County Comprehensive Plan, and the Cultural Corridor Planning in progress.

Engineering Reports and Feasibility Studies: No engineering or feasibility studies have been prepared. This is the next step necessary for development of the project.

Secured Funds: No

Other Efforts: We prepared design documentation including photo/illustrations of the project, developed a web site at www.giantlavalamp.com and gained local, national and international publicity for the project, through all media sources including radio,television, newspapers and the internet.

Local Infrastructure Improvements: The project will draw tourist dollars, and other business investment into the community. The added revenue from tourism and B&O taxes and other fees will provide the resources for improvement of local infrastructure and it capacity to meet the needs of the anticipated growth and revitalization of the community.

Compliance with EPA/DOE: N/A

Other Factors: No
