Project:This project requires two stages for completion – first you are to act as a consultant
and second you will take on the role of a mayor who has to communicate the action plan as
a result of the consultant recommendation.Part A: ConsultantYou are employed as a
consultant for a city that is investigating the possibility of building a convention center to
attract tourists. Provide your recommendation to the mayor’s office regarding the
construction of the center. (One recommended source for your work is a report by
Professor Heywood Sanders, produced for the Brookings Institute. The report contains
information about the demand for conventions and the supply of convention centers, and is
provided as a link below.) I have also included some additional references to assist you
with this project. You are required to find two additional sources to use in your analysis.
Conflicting sources are also acceptable so long as they use sound economics in the
analysis.Students are required to submit a one-page executive summary with a
recommendation for or against the project and you must defend your decision using
economic arguments/data. A single page forces students to be concise and to think clearly
about what they want to say. Use the tools that you have learned in the course for full credit
(opportunity cost for example). Students may not submit more than the one page executive
summary. References should be listed on a separate page.Part B: City MayorYou are the
Mayor of the city who is tasked with the job of conveying the final decision on the
convention center project to residents and stakeholders. You must discuss both the decision
itself and the justification for the decision. Utilizing evidence and data provided by the
consultant, a successful communiqué should be informative and persuasive such that
residents and stakeholders ultimately support the policy decision.For this portion of the
assignment, students are required to submit a one-page press release. Students may not
submit more than the one page.Note: Your submission should be no longer than three pages
– one page for the consultants executive summary, a reference page, and the one page press
release.Please upload your project in a word document attachment. Resources:1. Sanders–
