During her speech, McDaniel stressed the importance of partnership and collaboration within the community, a principle she referred to as "PC". She asserted that collective efforts would help attract an estimated 63,000 visitors annually to the facility. The visitor influx is projected to have positive economic impacts on downtown retail, restaurants, and hotels.
