CRVA Seeks to Make Convention Center More Inviting with $100 Million Makeover
This would be the Charlotte Convention Center’s new facade facing Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
To stay competitive with peer cities, the 21-year-old Charlotte Convention Center needs a $100 million renovation over the next six years, the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority said Monday.
Under the proposal, the convention center’s footprint would not expand onto new property, at least not in the short term. But the center’s meeting space would grow by about 34,000 square feet, mostly by rebuilding the center’s facade facing Stonewall Street.
