A $1.1 billion project to expand the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center faced no opposition at a hearing at the State House yesterday, with supporters claiming it will add jobs and money to the economy.
Speaking before the State Administration Committee, state Rep. Nick Collins (D-South Boston), who co-sponsored said expanding the BCEC was a "necessity."
The expansion would more than double the amount of floor space, to 850,000 square feet. The MCCA says the expansion will not require any new fees or taxes, and will be paid from the Convention Center Fund.
MCCA Executive Director James Rooney told the committee Boston has seen the largest growth in convention market share in the country since 2000.
The convention center plays host to high profile conventions such as gaming convention PAX East, which sold out more than five months before the show.
Herald wire services contributed to this report.
