Today was a historic moment for the city of Dallas. City, county and community leaders broke ground on the expansion of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas. This $3.7 billion project will mark a new era for our city, catalyzing job creation, enhancing tourism, and forging long-overdue connections between Downtown and South Dallas. As the Chair of the Asian Chamber of Texas and a proud board member of Visit Dallas, and a member of the Dallas’ 10-Year Destination Master Plan Steering Committee, I had the honor of being a part of the ground breaking ceremony along with other DFW leaders. Thank you to the city, county, federal leaders, visit Dallas and community orgs who worked together to make this convention center a reality.
