(KAIR)--The Atchison Heritage Center will now be known as the “Atchison Event Center”.
The name change, the second in less than a month, was proposed by Atchison City Commissioner Rita Hartman during a meeting Monday afternoon.
Hartman says she proposed the change because the Atchison Heritage Center name is too similar to the “Heritage Center”, a facility in Leavenworth, and suggested the name be changed to the Atchison Event Center.
Commissioner Jack Bower said that it all came down to branding, and a new name would make it clear what the facility is used for.
Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve the change, meaning the facility is now named the “Atchison Event Center”.
