There are clubs in MA that do both every month (New Bedford and Harvard, and possibly others), and they throw in a Steel Challenge once in a while on top of that.
There are, but as Jar mentioned, they didn't go from zero to all of that at one time. It takes time to build a core group of volunteers, get them trained as SO's, and work through what it takes to run a match, and attract a following to their matches. The rules are different for each sport, and each one has its own safety officer training.
Harvard was running USPSA for many years before the MetroWest Tactical guys started running IDPA at Harvard (and they had already been running at Riverside for a year or two before they moved to Harvard). MWT had been running at Harvard for a number of years before Harvard started running Steel Challenge.
Crawl, walk, run. Pick one sport and start with it. If it ends up doing great after a few years and you have a bunch of folks interested in trying another sport, only then should you organize for that sport. If you try to start all three at once, you and your volunteers may get overwhelmed and you may crash and burn.
