Local leaders says if the current pace continues, the town could see up to 40,000 visitors in it's first year.

That's much more than the original goal of 25,000 visitors.

Assistant General Manager, Sheila Silverstein, says the increased traffic has had a big impact on local businesses.

Local stores in the area have report a spike in sales thanks to the venue. Restaurants like Ippy's have seen an increase in sales as large as 25%.
