Sports complex meeting to be held at Osage Centre

The city of Cape Girardeau will host a public meeting today regarding the new indoor sports complex.

It's the next project funded through revenue from the 1 percent restaurant tax, which historically has helped build facilities to attract out-of-town visitors and tourists.

A citizen committee earlier this year selected the sports complex as the next project, and another city-appointed selection committee has been reviewing proposals and interviewing applicants to enter into a public-private partnership with one or more entities to develop the facility.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Osage Centre, 1625 N. Kingshighway, and members of the public may ask questions at the conclusion of all three presentations. Suggested sites and building projects or designs will be among the topics discussed.

Pertinent address:

1625 N. Kingshighway, Cape Girardeau. Mo.
