This presentation projects that it'll cost about 60K for a district event and 140-260K for the DMCP.

Compare this to MAR, which spends about 22K for a district event and 65K for the DCMP. Why are the costs so different? I understand that MAR is getting the venue for the DCMP for pretty cheap, but why are district events expected to be much pricier than in MAR?

Do you happen to have a link to those presentations?
