Sobering news indeed.For months now, the Great Bend City Council has been cautiously planning the much-needed renovation of the Great Bend Convention Center around a $1 million pricetag and a timeline that had the project done by next August.However, Scott Bixler and his team from the Wichita architectural firm WDM were at the council meeting Monday night to discuss what the governing body wants. The architects started by giving their ideas and then sought input from the city officials. The architects see a $3 million showcase facility that would be the pride of Great Bend, but not be completed until December 2013.
