Wichita will look for private company to manage Century II
The Wichita City Council voted Tuesday to go out for bids from private management companies to take over operations at the Century II Convention Center.
Assistant City Manager Donte Martin told the council that the convention, tourism and event industry has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and Century II had a number of events that were cancelled last year. He said the expertise of a private operator would help in marketing the facility, right-sizing operations for the future and reduce operating deficits for the facility. He said a Request for Proposal would go out in about a week and a committee would review the bids that are received. The committee would have a recommendation for the City Council in May or June.
