A Gregg County Amphitheater Feasibility Study

LONGVIEW – A study is beginning over the possibility of building an outdoor amphitheater along the Interstate 20 corridor. It would serve as a concert and entertainment venue for the East Texas area. The feasibility study is being conducted by the Longview Economic Development Corporation and the City of Longview. A consulting firm has been hired to study the potential viability of such a project. This would include market demand, site considerations, as well as financial and funding analysis. The project is only under consideration. No funding has been identified for it. According to a city news release, if it proves feasible, there would have to be a major fundraising campaign to raise private and corporate dollars to help fund construction and on-going operation.
