CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority announced this afternoon, a plan to hire an outside firm, Tourism Economics of Pennsylvania, to study the economic impact of the Democratic National Convention.
Last week's convention pulled in an estimated 35,000 people to the city, and an estimated 15,000 journalists and 6,000 delegates.
CRVA CEO Tom Murray says the study is important to be transparent with the public.
"We feel like we have an obligation to tell people what we did and to the best of our ability what the economic impact of that was," said Murray.
The study is expected to take 2 months to conduct and should cost from 20 to 35 thousand dollars. That total will be split between the City of Charlotte, the CRVA, well as Charlotte Center City Partners, Charlotte Regional Partnership and the Charlotte Chamber.
