Claudia Vecchio, president and CEO of Sonoma County Tourism, said a feasibility study has been prepared and that on Wednesday, Aug. 23, the tourism agency will present to its board of directors a proposal for an exploratory advisory council.
After that, talks will begin about next steps: funding, where the convention center could be built and other project details, she said.
The convention center itself is a ways off it would be a five-year project, Vecchio said.
Sonoma County Tourism formally unveiled its 10-year Destination Stewardship and Resiliency Master Plan on May 11.
That’s when Vecchio said the plan included a “big, audacious goal” for a convention center.
