A Mission with Real Impact
The United States Performance Center (USPC) is well-positioned to become the nation’s premier sports sciences and research facility, and to make North Carolina a major hub for US National Teams/National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs). This has a tremendous economic impact on the state across a variety of metrics, including Job Creation, Tourism, Events and Public Health.
With the nation’s largest Olympic training and residency campus, other athletic organizations are encouraged to relocate to the state and bring further development to the area. USPC attracts more elite athletes, activities, and events to the state to take advantage of our innovative approach to building peak athletic performance.
Exciting Opportunities for Growth
The US Performance Center’s mission provides immediate, across-the-board economic benefits to the State of North Carolina contributing to state, county, and municipal economies by…
- Presenting a broad variety of sports- and health-related programs for the public.
- Partnering with in-state providers of goods and services to keep the center operational.
- Generating new taxes and spending from USPC workers and athletes.
- Driving new industry standards for athletic tourism.
Additionally, the medical research and scientific innovations being developed by USPC have major ramifications beyond elite athletics. By partnering with state universities and healthcare systems, the US Performance Center can make North Carolina an important international center for the transformation of healthcare for the general population.
Job Creation
Athletic Tourism
USPC’s top-tier events annually draw hundreds of thousands of participants, visitors, and tourists to North Carolina, significantly boosting local tourism. This influx not only enlivens the cities and towns hosting these events but also has a tangible, positive effect on economic growth across the state.
