Local Economies Could Make Money From Mustang Celebrations
Mustang enthusiasts making their way across the country to celebrate the historical milestone for the Ford pony car are also expected to bring in a lot of cash to local economies.
In Charlotte, one of two major destinations for 50th anniversary celebrations, organizers expect event attendees to pump an additional 8 million dollars into the local economy, according to an Independent Tribune report.
A lot of the events in the area are already sold out for the four-day event, which kicks off April16.
The anniversary celebration, which also includes a big event in Las Vegas, is expected to draw Mustang fans from as far as Australia and Germany to the U.S. to ring in the five-decade milestone for the car.
