Convention Center Project Will Move Forward


Council President Gloria Anxious for Expansion to Begin SAN DIEGO, CA (March 11, 2013) Council President Todd Gloria today issued the following statement about a judges tentative ruling that the Convention Center expansion financing is legal, and the project can move forward. I am grateful that the Convention Center expansion will now move forward. The expansion will greatly benefit our local economy, the Citys budget, and expand job opportunities in our region, with 4,000 construction jobs and 7,000 permanent new jobs anticipated. I was confident that the City Council moved forward appropriately with our approval of the expansions financing last year. The judges validation confirms that the hotel room surcharge agreed to by local hoteliers is a legal and viable way to improve our Convention Center and further strengthen San Diegos economy.
