The entertainment, cultural attraction and retail segments of our economy are becoming increasingly blended. Nationally, new entertainment features are rapidly being established in areas where they never existed before – such as shopping centers, restaurants, and downtown areas; and in ways that didn’t exist even a few years ago.

The Original Town Association has engaged the professional organizations of Barry Howard Designs Limited and JB Research Company to conduct a feasibility study and business case assessment for developing an integrated approach to optimizing new attractions with North Platte’s existing assets including conceptual design services and business plan assistance for the entire project.

A kick-off meeting will be held at noon on Tuesday January 17th at the Golden Spike Tower and Visitor Center; and a Public Input Session will be held at 5:00 PM that evening at the Quality Inn and Suites.

We encourage you to help us and welcome your participation in this exciting process. For more information visit the Rail Fest web site.
