The motion is expected to request additional funding needed through either schematic design or design development for a new Visitors Center. The Tourism Committee would like the new facility operational by 2020, in time for Plymouth's 400th anniversary, which is expected to generate an influx of tourists to the Boston area. This would require construction to begin in 2018. This Committee generally agreed that its position on this article should remain pending until the final motion is available. 2
