Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Ashland, Kentucky is issuing a Request for Information (“RFI”) to solicit feedback and creative ideas from innovative and capable teams on how to deliver a conference center and parking facility (the “Project”) as a public-private partnership (“P3”). Ashland recently completed a feasibility study (“Feasibility Study”) that determined there is a strong demand for a downtown conference center and that the Project’s operations would be financially viable. In addition to the Conference Center P3, Ashland is open to exploring a Private Partner assuming responsibility for the City’s parking system and event space operations. Ashland is now seeking developer, investor, and operator interest in and feedback on the Project, to include the best uses of the conference center facility to meet the City’s needs while generating maximum revenue to support the Project. Interested parties are invited to submit written information as well as schedule one-on-one meetings with the City to provide verbal feedback.
