Kq2's kristina zagame was at city hall, she joins us in studio with the latest, kristina?

Alan--council members are on board with a plan from the current owners of the downtown radisson hotel to research of a major downtown redevelopment.

The plan is to study the possible success of a new event center and relocation of the st.

Jo frontier casino to downtown.

No city money will go into the study -- and the council is not committed to moving forward with any plan that may come from the study.

Council members are especially interested in the economic impact and job creation of the proposed projects along with what the public might think of a plan.

While the plan...for the plan will move forward, some council members aren't enthusiastic about the possibility of a downtown casino.
