My business partner and I are in the planning stages of an Indoor Wakeboarding park. The costs is approx. $10 million. The project would take about 1 year to build and would be unlike anything else in the USA. It’s in a major city 15 minutes from an international airport. It would be very possible to have the park features on ESPN and other stations for major competitions, and would create income through advertising, season passes, and ticket sales. We’re looking to finance this project privately through silent investors. Any advice?
I can be reached by e-mail at LouisvilleWakeboardPark@yahoo.com
