The lake placid town council has decided to build a new community center to be used for conventions, concerts, and other public events, but considerable controversy surrounds the appropriate size. many influential citizens want a large center that would be a showcase for the area, but the mayor feels that if demand does not support such a center

A large community centre would be ideal for the community as it can be used to improve and enrich the lives of its citizens. Building a large facility could create a demand making it an attraction, bringing in outside business into the community which in turn would spin off to other local businesses. On the other hand the building cost incurred and future running cost of the centre may be drastically affected if there is no great demand for such a facility.
