GREENSBURG, Kan. (AP) -- The Greensburg City Council is back to the drawing board when it comes to a design for a new Big Well Museum.
The council has rejected a bid and design from the Kansas city-based architectural firm BNIM for a museum to showcase the town's main tourist draw. The bid was more than $300,000 over the budgeted $3 million for the museum.
The council was scheduled to consider at its Monday meeting whether to retrain BNIM or choose another firm to design the museum.
The Hutchinson News reports that BNIM has worked with the town on other projects as it continues to rebuild from a May 2007 tornado, including building the new city hall and school. City Administrator Steve Hewitt says those projects came in within budget.
