Garden City explores exhibition building use for tourism and youth hockey
Garden City officials and residents debated transforming the exhibition building into a convention center versus building a separate center. Advocates say a venue would boost the guest tax from gas, shopping, food, and hotel sales while supporting youth hockey tournaments and community programs. Most favored a separate convention center with the exhibition building kept for events after improvements. The next county commission meeting is at 8:30 a.m. February 6.
