Introduction
The
Phoenix City Council has requested public input on the future of the Phoenix Convention Center (PCC) South Building site. The Phoenix Convention Center and Community and Economic Development departments will hold a series of community outreach meetings to discuss and collect feedback about the future of the Convention Center South Building site. City staff will present information on the history, use and future options of the South Building and site. Feedback collected will be presented to the Phoenix City Council this fall.
The South Building along with North and West Buildings make up the Phoenix Convention Center campus. In 2002, the Phoenix City Council adopted the expansion master plan, which consisted of three phases:
Phases 1 and 2 were completed with the construction of the new West and North Buildings as well as the refurbishing of the South Building. Phase 1 and 2 was a $600 million project jointly funded by the state of Arizona and the city of Phoenix.
Phase 3 was the proposed future development of a new South Building and expansion of the existing site.
