WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The Wichita Eagle will move its news operations to Old Town Square, an entertainment and shopping district in downtown Wichita.

President and publisher Roy Heatherly announced Tuesday that the Eagle had signed an agreement to move its business and about 100 employees to Old Town. The Eagle reports (https://bit.ly/2i7fW1g ) the building is expected to be ready by April.

Heatherly says the new location will help the Eagle emphasize its digital and multimedia operations, including digital screens on the front of the building that will project the paper’s website and breaking news.



Heatherly is still looking for a second building for a distribution center. The newspaper moved its printing operations to Kansas City last year.

The Eagle’s current building will be converted to headquarters for Cargill.
