Colorado Convention Center Expansion Begins Pre-Bid Hearings
Later this week, on Feb. 17, the Colorado Convention Center Expansion plan will host a virtual, pre-bid meeting, open to the public (register here).
According to the Convention Center website, the expansion of the center “… includes a new 80,000 square foot column free multipurpose room and outdoor rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the city skyline and mountains. The project will be the largest ballroom in Colorado and expand one of the largest buildings in Denver.”
Some of the estimated benefits of the expansion proposal include:
- Create or support 2,691 jobs, including skilled trades and apprenticeships that will offer training opportunities for Denver residents currently out of work.
- Generate $195M in labor income
- Generate $475M in anticipated sales
- Add approximately $4B to the Gross Regional Product (GRP).
The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2023, while ensuring it can continue to operate during construction.
