Event and Convention Facilities

Sheridan lacks a convention facility or event center that can accommodate thousands of people and can be used on a year-round basis. There is a perceived need for both types of facility.

Construct convention and event(s) facilities in the City of Sheridan or in Sheridan County.

Event and Convention Facilities Initiative:

Identify a site through the design-planning process.

Identify private ventures that specialize in building and managing convention facilities in small communities.

Hire a qualified consultant to facilitate the above strategies.

Sheridan County and its municipalities, Sugarland Enterprises, Sheridan Travel & Tourism, local representatives from the Wyoming Lodging & Restaurant Association, Sheridan County Fair Association, Sheridan Recreation District, Big Horn Events Center, Sheridan College, Sheridan County's three school districts, area foundations, urban design consultant, and Forward Sheridan.
