The Alliant Energy Center (AEC) redevelopment committee on Monday discussed a plan that would modernize entertainment, sports, and multiuse facilities, according to WKOW. A high-priority proposal would improve the exhibition hall, a project with a price tag of $175 million.
The main concern cited is funding, with some projects suggesting county investment and others requiring third-party partnerships.
The 10 proposals discussed include:
-
Expo hall expansion and related site improvements;

Development of a central plaza;

-
The sale of the owned land plot south of Rimrock Road or its utilization for future projects;
-
Development of an indoor pro soccer facility;

Creation of a multiuse entertainment arena;
-
Creation of more opportunities for private commercial development with a walkable AEC campus;
-
The addition of an additional parking structure;
-
Construction of an outdoor amphitheater; and
