As these <br />individuals travel here for ERX, the Elk River area experiences a significant positive financial <br />impact. The impacts are most significant during the winter snocross seasons as teams and <br />athletes continue to call Elk River "home" in their attempts to locate near the ERX track. Teams <br />support local businesses by utilizing local restaurants, hotels, municipal liquor stores, grocery <br />stores and gas stations. During large ERX events, the Elk River community is filled with teams, <br />families and spectators as they spend multiple days in the area participating in events at ERX. <br />Since our inception, there's been a handful of families who have purchased land in the Elk River <br />area to be closer to ERX, thus: <br />1) providing part-time housing for their family and team, <br />2) operating their respective business(es) and racing team operations <br />3) leasing available space and <br />4) patronizing local businesses. <br />Page 7 <br />
