ANAHEIM, Calif.
The Anaheim Convention Center and the City of Anaheim will host a groundbreaking event on Tuesday, April 21, as the seventh expansion to the LEED-certified Anaheim Convention Center officially begins.
Adding an additional 200,000 square feet of flexible meeting space to the building, the project further solidifies its status as the largest convention center on the west coast. The hope is that the expansion will allow the City of Anaheim to retain conventions that have grown in popularity each year, as well as provide space to attract new conventions and events.
The expansion site encompasses the existing CarPark 1 area that fronts Katella Avenue, east of the Convention Center Arena.
Additional tax revenue from the expansion is projected to be more than $9 million annually. An estimated 1,860 jobs will be created during construction, and the expansion will support more than 2,000 new jobs annually.
