Renovation of a municipal facility in Wichita Falls, Texas. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

ver the past three years, the Ag team has focused on minor repairs and updates to the facilities that can be done internally and at minimal cost. As a result, the facility is now experiencing an increase in the booking of agricultural events. We are consistently hosting steer wrestling and team roping events with new interest in smaller rodeos and other ag-related events during the cooler months. However, we are also still competing against other facilities that are climate-controlled, which puts our facility at a huge disadvantage. Facilities such as the Belton Equine Livestock Complex, the Longhorn Indoor Arena in Greenville, Texas, the 1st Community Federal Credit Union Spur Arena in San Angelo, Texas, the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, and the Canadian County Expo Center in El Reno, Oklahoma are all climate controlled. Even the Young County Arena in Graham was recently updated from swamp coolers to air conditioners. Our slower months at the Ag typically start in late spring and last through the summer into early fall. This is mainly due to the temperature inside the facility. It is too hot to host any events, especially ag events. We feel strongly that if we were able to climate control the facility, we would see a resurgence in ag events, as well as have the ability to bid on livestock shows/events that want temperature-controlled facilitie The project is included in the City's 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
