Monday, February 19, you’re invited to join fellow Rotarians and citizens of Lincoln for an information forum providing background and current updates related to the convention center for Lincoln project. At this event, Rotary 14 will be recognized for our role in helping get the convention center project going and assisting with the feasibility and in-depth potential use studies. These studies helped convince members of the Unicameral that there was a real need for a convention center in Lincoln and that it would be kept busy with events attracting people to Lincoln.

 

It was over 3 years ago that the Rotary WOW Committee recommended that our club engage the community in talking about a convention center. It was just a year ago that the Unicameral passed its measure. It was last September that Lancaster County agreed to be the government agency to manage the funding from the Unicameral. And it was just a few weeks ago that an official Request for Proposals seeking a location was issued.

 

Plan now to attend this event and help celebrate what our club helped get started.
