The $54 million proposal essentially adds more space to the center's exhibit hall, meeting rooms and multi-purpose room space, in preparation for the 2028 Olympics.
After over a decade of planning and debate, the Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday to move forward with renovation and expansion plans for the Los Angeles Convention Center.The $54 million proposal essentially adds more space to the center's exhibit hall, meeting rooms and multi-purpose room space, in preparation for the 2028 Olympics. The city-owned Convention Center is scheduled to be the venue for boxing, fencing, taekwondo and table tennis during the 2028 Summer Olympics.
The preliminary work will help the city determine if the remodeling on the 1971-built building can be done on time, and if the result shows it can't, then the project could be terminated. 'Not only will L.A. have a world-class Convention Center that we can be proud of just in time for the world stage, but it's also going to bring thousands of jobs, permanent and temporary jobs,' Councilman Curren Price said.
