The Rockford Visitors Bureau is working on a plan that has been in the making for five years - namely to create a downtown hotel and conference center.
This is based on the original plan of a convention center but on a more scaled version.
Rockford has never been able to generate much interest in the downtown district due to the lack of accomodations and they have yet to get a developer interested. With the river front, the Metro Centre, the Coronado Performing Arts Center, etc. the Visitors Bureau believes that now is the time and the economics would work.
I hope the plan succeeds.
