Arena District Development Facilitator

The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia, the Classic Center Authority for
Clarke County, and the Downtown Athens Development Authority have entered into an
Intergovernmental Agreement establishing the Arena District Partnership for the purpose of
governing all private sector commercial development activities involving the Arena District
(including, but not limited to, apartments, condominiums, hotels, restaurants, and retail), and
parking needs for the Classic Center periphery. The Arena District consists of the Classic Center
Campus (highlighted in orange) and the District Development Sites (highlighted in blue) as
shown on Exhibit ¿A¿ attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Arena District
Steering Committee (the ¿Development Committee¿) was created for the purposes of
facilitating the roles of each member of the Arena District Partnership.

The Development Committee seeks a real estate professional or development consultant (a
¿Development Facilitator¿) to advise the Development Committee and facilitate development
on approximately 8 acres of prime publicly owned property (the ¿Property¿, sometimes referred
to herein as the ¿Arena District¿) surrounding the recently opened Akins Ford Arena (the
¿Arena¿) at the Classic Center in downtown Athens, Georgia. The Arena is on the campus of the
successful Classic Center, which has hosted events in its convention space and theater since
1995. Athens-Clarke County is a jurisdiction of over 130,000 residents, including over 40,000
students at the University of Georgia. Athens-Clarke County is both the smallest county in the
state by land size, as well as the sixth largest city in Georgia by population, creating an
opportunity for dense development on the Property.
