This rendering of the expanded convention center includes a frame-shaped cutout as part of a new pedestrian bridge.
City Council is expected to approve the request at its Sept. 25 meeting. Construction would begin in May 2019 and be finished early in 2021, according to the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority.
The $110 million expansion would add 26,000 square feet of smaller meeting rooms and 15,000 square feet to host pre-event receptions.
