A second expansion phase — 200,000 more square feet of exhibit space — still awaits approval

noted Aug 31, 2026

Behind the Grand Concourse sits Phase 5B, which would add 200,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space and push the convention center's total to 1.15 million square feet. Full design documents arrived in January 2026 and the county commission gave the current program final budget approval in March — but 5B itself is explicitly pending approval, not a done deal.
