South Dakota’s Aberdeen Convention Center purchased by Ramkota Best Western

by Victoria Lusk

Just three years after the city sold the Aberdeen Convention Center to the highest bidder at auction, it has been purchased by the adjoining hotel, the Ramkota Best Western.

"It just makes sense for them to have it," Jeff Lamont, CEO and founder of Lamont Cos., said.

Lamont was the high bidder in 2014 at $475,000.

A purchase agreement was reached last week between Lamont Cos. and Regency Midwest Ventures, doing business as Best Western Ramkota Hotel.
