Dallas City Council members approved a $4 billion plan to tear down the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and build a new facility west of Lamar Street.City council members approved a plan to build a new $4 billion convention center in Downtown Dallas.
They ultimately voted to in favor of a $2 billion plan to build a new convention center west of Lamar Street. An additional $2.2 billion will be spent on redevelopment projects in and around the convention center."I am a little concerned there is some confusion with our taxpayers," said Councilman Gay Donnell Willis. "They may see the shiny new object and think, ‘I don't want to pay this. I have potholes and streets to deal with.
"This is a potential game-changer that can bring vibrancy to a dormant section of Downtown Dallas. Now, we can move forward and dig into the details. We must ensure the final plans reflect our desire to serve both our visitors and our residents," Mayor Eric Johnson said on Twitter.
