Los Angeles to decide about Convention Center in June

Los Angeles City Council's Economic Development Committee has recently approved a proposal from City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana to develop a convention center through the PPP model.

Last summer the city hired a team composed of HMC Architects and Populous to develop a design project to upgrade its convention center, but now there are plans to carry out a project to construct a new building.

The plan would involve the development of an integrated urban development project that would include a convention, hospitality, and mixed-use district on the existing LACC campus.

Additionaly, Arup was hired to study the potential of the PPP model to carry out the new project. The company raises several risk factors associated with the previous plant to upgrade the convention center. Arup along with the city's representatives will keep working to create project designs and an engineering framework, among others.

According to sources, the city will make a final decision about the project by June this year.
