Architects presented updated renderings and floor plans of the project at Wednesday’s Capital Improvement Board meeting.

Sloped or flat roof, building efficiency options, and location of the elevated crosswalk link are just a few of the details convention expansion leaders are working on.

The Capital Improvement Board marked one year of its first meeting Tuesday morning at the convention center with county council, commissioners, Mayor Kerry Thomson, and city council members.

The Monroe County Capital Improvement Board held a public meeting Monday night to update and get feedback on the project.

At the Capital Improvement Board Wednesday, members reviewed an updated rendering and site plan. The metal awning with brick and limestone elements replicates the current convention center.

Convention center leaders are deciding the next steps for a companion hotel to the expansion project.

Three conceptual renderings of the $52 million Monroe Convention Center expansion are before the body tasked with completing the project.

The Capital Improvement Board approved the recommendation from a site selection working group Wednesday.

Council members say the letter is intended as a list of recommendations on the project, not demands.

The body overseeing the Monroe Convention Center expansion is expected to choose a construction manager for the project later this month.
