Sibley, Iowa — A northwest Iowa man is looking for a place to put an events center.
Businessman Octavio Mejia tells us that right now, they’re focusing on some property in Sibley.
He says the property in Sibley at the former cement plant south of the Sibley Pool and the campground is only one of the locations that have been considered. He says they attempted to find some property in Ashton, and have even considered the H.C. Lane building and other property in Sheldon.
Mejia tells us the main reason they’re trying to find a place for an events center is to host concerts. But, he says they would also rent the facility to the public.
He says a location in Sibley or Sheldon would be ideal because of the Highway 60 expressway.
Mejia says they’d really like to help the community grow. He tells us they’d also love to host alcohol-free concerts for young people.
