(KAIR) -- Nearly two million dollars in renovations to Atchison's Heritage Conference Center get the green light.
The Atchison City Commission voted 3-2 Monday evening to put the project out to bid. Commissioners Jack Bower and Larry Purcell voted no.
City Manager Trey Cocking says a large portion of the renovations include room controlled HVAC, but other smaller renovations are possible. (Play Audio)
The board also passed a bond financing resolution to help fund the project and other projects by the same vote.
The renovations will cause a hardship on the Conference Center as the work is expected to take place from August 1st through December 31st. The city has put a freeze on any new bookings during that time.
Conference Center Representative Bill Murphy says the center is expected to lose 70 to 80 thousand dollars in sales during that period.
