Wichita to take ‘tremendous step forward’ with first major developments near ballpark

Wichita is about to take “a tremendous step forward” with two substantial new developments adjacent to Riverfront Stadium at Maple and McLean, said Assistant City Manager Scot Rigby. The $65 million project includes an eight-story hotel, a six-story office building with an adjoining 200-spot parking structure and riverfront improvements. It’s the Wind Surge baseball team’s first step toward developing four acres around the ballpark — the same four acres the city was heavily criticized for selling for a $1 each to the team.
