The $200,000,000 development was partially funded by the City of Bristol, which provided $25,000,000 for the Public Infrastructure portion of the project. Johnson estimates that the first phase of the complex will create 2000 jobs, and add $200 million in annual sales to the local economy.[6] The first stores opened in 2014 and many have followed in 2015. Pinnacle 12 by Marquee Cinemas opened in October 2015.
