CASPER, Wyo.
The city of Casper will have to wait a little bit longer before finding out how big, where and what kind of conference center to build.
City Manager John Patterson said the Strategic Advisory Group's market study won't be available until February because of delays created by the holidays. The group will present its findings to the Casper City Council on Feb. 27.
"Then I think it's gut-check time as far as location," Patterson said. "This is going to answer the 'what' question, and now the community needs to answer the 'where' question."
After the council receives the study results, Patterson said the city will solicit a proposal for construction and search for partnerships. He said both public and private partnerships will be sought to manage the conference center's construction and operation.
