    "The Florida State University did a study on the economic impact of the Church of Scientology and concluded that it summed up to an annual total of $917 million dollars within Clearwater alone," stated Amber Skjelset, the Scientology Information Center Manager, "We opened the Center for all those curious about the Church and its founder L. Ron Hubbard."

    The Center, housed in meticulously-restored historic Bank of Clearwater lobby, holds four interactive audio-visual displays containing over 300 videos on a myriad of topics. These include basic Scientology beliefs and practices, new Churches expanding all over the world and personal interviews by those who have worked with L. Ron Hubbard throughout his life.
