The possibility of converting Spin City into more of an event center but still retaining facilities for youth activity, has surfaced in Junction City. Mayor Pat Landes noted that he was approached by a citizen unhappy with the level and cost of service at the convention center in Junction City. There was a question about whether the City would consider making Spin City ( 915 South Washington ) into more of an event space. "I think we need more things like this in our town," said Landes.
The mayor talked with the city manager about getting a small group together, perhaps with an architect, to throw some ideas out and determine what a project would cost.
There could still be space for kids including roller skating but perhaps a floor where you could also have a nice dinner. Landes noted that there is already a good sound system that could be used for dinners and dances. There might have to be some discussions with the nearby JC Naz Church about an agreement for more parking for an upgraded Spin City.
Landes called the Spin City facility a hidden gem with potential.
Junction City Finance Director Lindsay Miller will head the group working on the project.
